Students gain access to Workday March 4

Author: Amy Juhnke

The transition from AccessPlus to Workday for students continues. The Workday team held course registration simulations, and continue to make modifications based on feedback. Here are a few basic items that students, faculty and staff should know:

  • Students will get access to Workday on March 4th, and the Workday tile will appear on their Okta sign-in dashboard. They can also download Workday mobile.
  • Students will register for fall classes in Workday.
  • Students will need to complete a quick tutorial before registering, so logging into Workday before it’s time to register for classes is key.
  • Students can put together a tentative schedule (called safe schedule) in Workday, before registering for classes.
  • Students, faculty, and staff are receiving newsletters, customized to the audience, about changes, training, etc.

Students have been receiving email notifications about Workday, and the campus community is encouraged to help spread the word to students via posters or video display images. Following is the schedule of regularly sent newsletters, by audience:
