Improved student experience and Workday’s searching and tracking functionality drive these changes.
How we name and organize programs of study will change with Workday

Academic foundations describe key components across Workday Student that support all other student functional areas, such as advising, student financials, records, financial aid and curriculum. Included under the academic foundations umbrella are WashU’s academic structure, programs of study and credentials, academic periods and calendars, dates, student eligibility rules and more.
Improved student experience and Workday’s searching and tracking functionality drive these changes.
Academic and prime divisions will go away when Workday goes live. We will manage the associated data, processes and policies in a slightly different way but to mostly the same ends.
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.
Academic units are the primary organizational structure in Workday Student. They are used to represent schools, divisions or any other unit that admits students, offers programs of study or offers courses. Academic units are structured together to manage academic process flows, security access, Workday rule inheritance and reporting.
Project’s scope extends beyond technological transformation, examines tools, processes, policies and structures that support our academic mission
