Thunderbird athletes enrolled in the BASC program may require assistance in support of their participation in UBC Athletics with registration accommodation around their practice and game schedules. Not all accommodations may be possible due to space and other constraints in the course and section.
First Year Students
The HV Standard Timetable (STT) is designed to help first year Engineering varsity athletes avoid common varsity practice and game times. Varsity athletes must be members of UBC’s official Thunderbird Sport Clubs, and must receive EAS approval to register in the HV STT. Limited seats are available.
How to register for an HV STT
- Prior to June 16, 2023 at 11:59pm PDT, fill out this webform to request a seat in an HV STT. EAS will do our best to support late requests, but they are not guaranteed.
- Please rank all 4 x HV STTs in order of preference.
- EAS will send you a confirmation email to let you know which HV STT seat is reserved for you. At your registration time, EAS will register you in your HV STT and send you a confirmation email.
- At your registration time, please register yourself for WRDS 150B and a humanities elective, avoiding sections that conflict with your HV STT
What if the HV STTs won’t work for my schedule? (PBME, etc.)
Please register for the STT with the best fit for your schedule, then request section switches to resolve remaining scheduling conflicts (see below).
How to request section switches
For first year Engineering courses, EAS will do our best to support section switches to accommodate varsity practice and game schedules. Not all accommodations may be possible due to space and other constraints in the course and section.
Follow these steps to request section switches for first year Engineering courses:
- Write a list of each sections that conflicts with your practice schedule
- For each one, use SSC to find a section that doesn’t conflict with your schedule and write it down
- Example: Drop PHYS 157 101, add PHYS 157 102
- Fill out one section switch request form for each section you are requesting to switch
Timeline
- Deadline: July 3, 2023 — Receive a response by July 14, 2023
- Late Request Deadline: August 3, 2023 — Receive a response by August 15, 2023
Section switch request may be submitted after the deadline, and EAS will do their best to support them (but late request are not guaranteed to be accommodated).
