UBC has transitioned to Workday Student for the 2024 Winter Session. The Asian Studies waitlist policy is changing as a result. The new policy applies to all courses offered by Asian Studies from the 2024 Winter session and onwards.
All courses offered by Asian Studies will have waitlists enabled. Once a course section is full, students registering will automatically be placed on the waitlist.
Waitlists work on a first come, first serve basis, unless otherwise specified. If a seat becomes available in the course section, you will receive a notification in Workday that gives you 24 hours to accept or drop the seat. If you do not respond within 24 hours, the seat will automatically be given to the next person in line. If you are no longer interested in taking the course, please remove yourself from the waitlist.
Waitlists for all courses managed by our Department will be in use until the Friday before term begins. On said Friday, the waitlists for courses starting within the term will close and all waitlisted students will be dropped. After this, students are responsible for monitoring their desired courses for open seats and registering themselves when spots become available.
Keep a lookout on the Workday Tutorials site for students for more information about how waitlists function in Workday Student!
