Be aware that UBC is in the process of migrating to a new student information system called Workday Student. Residents will receive access to Workday on May 21, 2024 and will complete some UBC onboarding tasks in Workday Student, and some through the current UBC Student Services Centre platform.
From a central UBC Enrolment Services perspective, UBC medical residents are considered UBC students and will be registered as students in UBC’s student information system.
Set up Direct Deposit in UBC Workday Student
All new residents will need to set up their direct deposit information in Workday Student in order to be reimbursed for any expenses through UBC. Residents will receive access to Workday on May 21, 2024. Instructions on how to set up direct deposit information will be added once available.
Pay UBC Registration Fee in UBC Student Services Centre
Medical residents are required to be registered with the University of British Columbia for the duration of their training. The annual fee is set by the University Board of Governors and is a registration fee as opposed to a tuition or course fee. The fee for the 2024-2025 academic year is $483.64.
New residents will be contacted directly by UBC Enrolment Services with instructions for payment. UBC registration fees can be paid through the UBC Student Service Centre (SSC) and the 2024-2025 fees will be due July 8, 2024.
The UBC registration fee covers access to UBC student systems, software and resources including CWL, email, Microsoft 365 Office, UBC Library access, etc).
Residents do not meet the eligibility requirements for a U-Pass.
UBC Library Card
All residents have UBC Student access to the UBC Library using your UBC CWL login.
The UBCcard acts as a library card. Residents who have completed the UBC registration process and have obtained their UBC MRES (student) number can contact the UBCcard Office to obtain a UBC Student Card if they wish to do so.
