Preparations Begin for Workday “Student”

March 18, 2024

While the Workday Student Implementation won’t officially start until September, we have already begun preparing.  Members of the Workday Project Team and Academic Affairs attended two sessions with Workday Student leaders in the last week. We got a more focused picture of the timeline, had many of our questions answered, and now have previews of the types of decisions we will be making.  

University Registrar Scott Spiegelberg and CIO Carol Smith have been speaking with various groups of staff and faculty on campus to get a good picture of how e-services is currently being used, and how those experiences can be improved with Workday. Through these conversations with Athletics, CARE, the Learning Commons, Alumni Engagement, Enrollment Management, Financial Aid, Academic Deans, and others, we have been making an ever-growing wishlist of features to implement. These conversations will continue throughout the implementation process.
