Adding your Third Party Authorization 

Important information about Third Party Authorization 

  • If you are a new UBC student, you may add a Third Party Authorization to Workday.
  • If you are a current UBC student, your Third Party Authorization information was not transferred automatically from your Student Service Centre account. You must add it to Workday. 
  • You may enter up to 3 Authorized Third Parties.
  • Authorized Third Parties can contact UBC for your information but cannot act on your behalf (e.g., order transcripts, request refunds).
  • You must respond to each part of the Third Party Authorization. It is up to you which permissions you grant to your third party.
