Workday project update - April 3,2020

We are excited to present a comprehensive timeline of activities for the entirety of the Workday Student project! Below is a brief summary explaining when the Muhlenberg community can expect to use specific functionality in Workday. Additional detail is linked in the full document on the right if you wish to review more information.

Fall 2020 marks the initial ‘go-live’ of Workday Student with core foundational structures up and running and the SLATE integration bringing Fall 2021 (class of 2024) students into Workday. For Staff, Programs of Study and Courses can be accessed and viewed in Workday. Demonstrations will begin occurring in Spring and Summer of 2020 and training materials will be made available in Fall 2020.

Spring 2021 is where the real excitement begins! Faculty and Staff will utilize Workday to view student bio/demo and records information, and perform advising tasks.Existing students will access Workday for the first time in April 2021 to update personal/contact information, FERPA, and register for Fall 2021 classes. Demonstrations will occur throughout Fall and Spring semesters, targeted training will be available to Faculty and Staff as needed, and open labs will be held to assist Faculty, Staff, and Students with self-service and administrative tasks in Workday.

June 2021 advising will occur in Workday and Fall 2021 students will have access to new student onboarding tasks. Student Financial information will be live in Workday and Financial Aid information can be viewed in Workday through integration with PowerFAIDS.

In fall 2021 the entirety of our Student functionality will be live in Workday and all Faculty, Staff, and Students will be completing self-service and administrative tasks in Workday including requesting transcripts, applying for graduating, and entering grades.

For further detail, linked on the right-hand side is the full timeline including timeframes for demonstrations, training, and various change management activities. Please keep in mind activities may shift slightly given the length and complexity of this project.

We are excited for what’s to come over the next year and a half and hope you will join in our excitement! If you have any questions please email [email protected] and a member of the Organizational Change and Training team will respond within 24 hours.
