Learn what you and your students should do this fall to prepare for the transition to Workday.
WashU leadership has committed to using Workday Student as the universal tool for advising and degree audit across the university. But what is a degree audit?
Course management staff will lead the way this fall, followed by students, advisors (including faculty) and other support staff next spring.
The Student Sunrise team has completed its first draft of security role assignments in Workday Student. Schools and units will review these assignments three times.
More equitable enforcement of requirements and reduced manual effort for school registrars and others is anticipated.
WashU will adopt a universal four-digit course numbering system to indicate course progression and to support curriculum management in Workday Student.
In Workday, a business process is an automated workflow that routes tasks to designated users. These processes will improve student experience and make operations more consistent and efficient.
Members will provide input on decisions, changes, and faculty support needs.
Schools and units will retire their individual advising systems to create a unified experience for students and advisors across the university.
Project’s scope extends beyond technological transformation, examines tools, processes, policies and structures that support our academic mission
We are evaluating which of our academic systems can be replaced by Workday Student or another core application and identifying which systems need to exchange data with Workday.
Implementing Workday to support WashU’s academic operations is a key component of the Student Sunrise project.
