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.

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.
