Academic Progress Report (APR)

You will notice a “wheel” at the top of your APR that marks degree completion. This wheel counts the number of “requirements”, not courses. For example, you are required to complete 6 credits of complimentary studies throughout your degree, which is listed as a single requirement. Once all 6 credits are completed, that requirement status will show “Satisfied”, and the wheel will advance. If you have only completed 3 credits, the requirement status will show “In Progress” and the progression wheel will not change. Some APR requirements are a single course, and other requirements represent a group of courses, but the wheel only advances when you have completed the full requirement.

The wheel for co-op completion is currently not configured and so it will always read that zero requirements have been completed. The co-op office tracks the completion of co-op requirements for the co-op designation in PD Portal (APSC co-op students) or Scope (ENPH co-op students), as it has in the past.

Your cumulative average, is the average grade of all your completed courses while in your engineering degree. The cumulative average does not include transfer credits, or any courses which are currently in progress.  

Your registration appointments is determined by your class standing and cumulative average.

This is where either completed or in progress courses are found, which are not currently being used to satisfy the APR requirement. If you have an SD or a missing grade (GNS), the course will be in the unused registration, until a final grade has been submitted. Your co-op courses will also be in the unused registrations.

These are excess requirements, and are how the Engineering APR functions behind the scenes. These have no impact on your APR.

Only courses which match the exact course requirement will automatically apply to your APR. If you have taken an equivalent course, or have been granted permission to take an alternative course, you will need to have this manually applied to your APR. Please contact EAS via the Contact Us form if your APR needs updating.       

You will only be awarded transfer credit for your IB, AP, or A-level courses, if you have submitted your final official transcript. You will be able to see these have been applied to your record, by looking under the transfer credits tab on your Workday account. The EAS Advanced Credit webpage, as information on how these courses may be used towards your engineering curriculum.

If you have taken IP or AB credits in addition to completing Grade 12 courses, you may not have been asked for these transcripts during the admission process. If you would like to use any of your advance credits, please submit your transcripts to UBC admissions as soon as possible.

Please contact EAS via the Contact Us form if your APR needs updating.  

The APR is not linked to your registration. Having your APR updated will not allow you to register for a course, if you don’t have the specific UBC course code listed as a pre-requisite or co-requisite. Workday is looking for the exact UBC course code on your record to match with the pre- or co-requisite. Only having a registration token, issued by the department who owns the course, will enable you to self-register in the course. For example, if you are trying to register in a course coded CPEN you would have to contact the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. Here are the contacts for our Engineering departments. 

If you have general transfer credits (HIST 1^st) or you have a UBC course code that does not match the APR requirement course code, the APR will not automatically apply the course to the requirement.

If you are a first year student with Advanced Credit, we recommend you check with our advance credit table to see if your transfer credit applies to the first year requirement. 

If you are a transfer student, please use your transfer credit summary to see how your transfer credits apply. For more information, please review the transfer credits information on the EAS website.   

You are welcome to contact us via the EAS Contact Us  form if your APR needs updating.     

If you have taken more courses than is needed for a requirement, the system will recognize that you have met the requirement, and place any additional courses that could have been used in the unused registration section. The course will be labelled “in excess”. Please contact EAS if you think that the course could be used for another program requirement.

A course that has zero credits comes from your transfer credits, and refers to an exempt course. An exemption refers to the waiving of a prerequisite or required course even if the original course does not significantly match a specific UBC course. An exempt course will have a course with credit it is associated with. For example, CHEM_V 121 (4) exempt CHEM 154 (0). The CHEM 154 exempt course will automatically apply to your APR, and you should have the associated course manually applied to your APR to avoid confusion. Please Contact Us so we can manually update your APR.

On you transfer credit tab, for example, an Exemption would be displayed as “PHYS_O 1st (3). Exempt PHYS_O 111.“For

You may have taken courses that don’t appear in your minor APR or you are unsure of which courses to register for. If you have any questions about the progression of your minor, please speak to an Engineering Advisor.
