Registration

Registration for CAP is on a first-come, first-served basis.

You will register at your appointed registration date and time. Be sure to register right away to secure your spot.

How to register

When registration opens for first-year students in June, students will register into a cluster of courses in their stream of choice. CAP is 18 credits in total, and you will have 12 remaining credits that can be used to choose any of the elective courses available to first-year students at UBC.

Important notes on registration into CAP

Please refer back to this page for the correct course and section numbers when building your saved schedule, or when registering directly into CAP courses.

Also, remember to register for both Winter Term 1 and Winter Term 2 courses in CAP. In Workday, you will need to create separate saved schedules for each term.

Step by Step Guide

Workday Login

2. Search for courses

  1. In Workday, type “Find Course Sections” in the search bar at the top of the page. Then click on “Find Course Sections" report. (Click here for help finding this report in Workday).
  2. In the “Find Course Sections” dialog box, enter the relevant “Start Date” and “Academic Level” for Term 1.

3. Find your CAP courses in Term 1

Now you can look for the courses in your desired CAP stream by searching for the core course, CAP 100: type “CAP_V 100-” in the search field. Add the letter that stands for your chosen stream:

  • “E” for Environment and Society (CAP_V 100-E);
  • "I" for Individual and Society (CAP_V 100-I);
  • "L" for Law and Society (CAP_V 100-L);
  • "M" for Media Studies (CAP_V 100-M);
  • "P" for Political Science, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) (CAP_V 100-P)

This will filter the results to the core seminar in the stream, “CAP_V 100,” with multiple section (timeslot) options. For example, CAP_V 100-E02, and CAP_V 100-E03 in the Environment and Society stream.

Click on the seminar section that fits your preferred timeslot. You will be redirected to a new page to view further details about the seminar and to see the other stream courses (sections) it is clustered with.

For students registered in all other streams, you will now look for the Term 2 core course, CAP 101, by typing “CAP_V 101-” in the search field. Add the letter that correspond to the stream you have chosen in Term 1.  

This will filter the results to the core seminar in the stream, with multiple section (timeslot) options. For example, CAP_V 101-E02, and CAP_V 101-E03 in the Environment and Society stream.

Important

You must choose the same section number (ie. timeslot) for both CAP 100 and CAP 101. For example, if you chose CAP_V 100-E02 in Term 1, you must choose CAP_V 101-E02 here.

7. Finish registering in all CAP courses in Term 2

There are 5 streams in CAP. Select the same stream you have chosen in Term 1.
