UBC Science is invested in your success. Your first year of the BSc is a time for you to ignite your passion for science and spark new interests. First year students take a combination of core science courses and electives and there is a lot of flexibility in your course options for first year.
What is Course Bundle Early Registration?
You pick your courses and we register you for them!
After first year students accept their offer to UBC Science, they can request to be registered into a bundle of first year courses before regular registration opens in late June. With Course Bundle Early Registration, you will be registered to take a number of first year science courses together with the same group of other Science students.
Why Choose Course Bundle Early Registration?
By requesting a course bundle, you simplify your registration process. Your course bundle will make it easier to connect with new friends, which can help you successfully transition to university. We designed Course Bundle Early Registration to create small supportive learning communities within the Faculty of Science to enhance students’ learning and wellbeing.
Eligibility for Course Bundle Early Registration
This registration pathway is available if you are entering first year in the Faculty of Science. If you miss the request deadline or choose not to request a bundle, you can build your own timetable and self-register in your courses.
How to Request Course Bundle Early Registration
In April or May, you will receive an email from the Faculty of Science with instructions to request a bundle of courses for early registration.
Before requesting your course bundle, you should consider which specializations you are interested in applying to in second year and review the requirements for admission to these specializations.
What to Expect after Requesting a Course Bundle for Early Registration
Students will be grouped based on similar requests and then registered into a bundle of courses together. We do not guarantee early registration into every course you select. We will inform you of the outcome of your course bundle request, giving you time to plan accordingly for the additional courses you will need to add to your course schedule. You will be responsible for self-registering in those additional courses once your registration appointment opens.
During and after your registration appointment, you can add any additional Science or non-Science courses to complete your timetable. If needed, you will be able to de-register (drop) one or more courses in the bundle on your own in Workday once your registration has opened.
