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.
Learn what academic and student support will look like in the future with Workday Student.
These changes will provide simpler, consistent and more equitable grading schemes to improve student and instructor experience.
WashU will adopt a universal four-digit course numbering system to indicate course progression and to support curriculum management in Workday Student.
A review of 147 WashU student systems has shaped the scope of the Workday Student project.
Here’s a preview of what will happen between now and November 1.
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.
These sessions are the first of five throughout the project that will ensure an understanding of the effects of key changes on our culture, people, roles, processes, policies and systems.
Experts from across the university are ensuring quality data for Workday Student.
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.
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
Implementing Workday to support WashU’s academic operations is a key component of the Student Sunrise project.
Student Sunrise engages campus teams and others to design Workday system and ensure successful launch in 2024-25.
Insights point to opportunities for more inclusive communications and engagement for large, transformative initiatives.
Project will advance WashU’s academic mission by using information to understand and support the needs of our community.
