This update is being shared on behalf of UBC Integrated Renewal Program – Student
Latest Update
In mid-August 2024, Instructors and Teaching Assistants will gain access to the Student Communications Tool and the Final Grade Submission Tool. Both are intended for use for the 2024W session and onwards. Until then, the ‘Email Students’ quick link will be unavailable and has been removed to prevent any confusion.
Changes have also been made to Workday Student’s Course Section Roster to include and make visible Student IDs alongside student names.
Who is Impacted?
Instructors and Teaching Assistants.
How are Instructors and Teaching Assistants impacted?
Instructors and Teaching Assistants will no longer see the ‘Email Students’ link on the Teaching App dashboard in Workday.
The ‘Email Students’ quick link will be reinstated in mid-August, as will the Final Grade Submission Tool intended for 2024W final grade submission period.
Additional Details
Instructors and Teaching Assistants should continue to use the FSC for communicating with students that are registered in their summer courses.
