Also, I note that finding the answer to this on the academic calendar was pretty hard for me.
There are like four references to deferred standing, I list them in order of google search results (standing deferred "ubc academic calendar" course registration):
On the Science Academic Calendar registration page, it does mention that "prerequisites are courses that must be successfully completed before taking a course", but without explicitly mentioning standings there's no way I would find that without specifically worrying about this issue (which I probably wouldn't, given that I've already been assured by my advisor).
