Here’s the latest on UBC Workday login as it relates to student access and general login steps.
Key points
- UBC uses a Campus-wide Login (CWL) for accessing Workday Student. Students log in at myworkday.ubc.ca or myworkday.ubc.ca depending on the campus context, using their CWL credentials.[2][3]
- For new or returning students, you may need to create or activate your CWL if you don’t already have one, and enable Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) via DuoMobile to complete login security setup.[1][2]
- If you need to reset or change your CWL password, you should login to your CWL account first, then use the Workday login page to access Workday; password changes are handled through the CWL portal.[1][2]
- Access to Workday Student became available to students around May 2024, with ongoing guidance about updating personal information, course planning, and registration tasks as part of the transition to Workday Student at UBC.[3][2]
- If you encounter connection or access issues, UBC IT provides troubleshooting steps and support, particularly around CWL setup and MFA configuration; staff, faculty, and students can refer to those resources for assistance.[3][1]
Practical steps for logging in
- Go to the Workday login page: myworkday.ubc.ca (or myworkday.ubc.ca as instructed by your program). Have your CWL username and password ready.[2][3]
- If you don’t have a student CWL yet, follow the prompts after acceptance to create one, then set up MFA via DuoMobile as part of your login security.[1][2]
- If you forget your CWL password, reset it through the CWL account recovery options; you may then use the updated credentials on the Workday login page.[2][1]
- For login issues, check that MFA is correctly configured and consult UBC IT’s troubleshooting guidance or contact their support for assistance.[1]
If you’d like, I can tailor these steps to your specific campus (UBC Vancouver vs. Okanagan) and your current status (new student vs. returning student), or help you locate the exact support article you should use for password resets or MFA setup.
