Workday Student will be going live for all faculty, staff and students in just a few short weeks. The new software will replace W&L’s 40 year old legacy system, Ellucian Colleague (including WebAdvisor and Self-Service) with a cloud-based system using modern technologies designed to provide ease-of-use on any device and agility to adapt to an ever-changing higher education landscape.

What does this mean for students?

In March 2022, students will for the first time, use Workday Student to engage in course planning and registration for the upcoming Fall semester. Our goal prior to this important milestone is to be sure students are aware that a change to the tools and methods used in the past is just around the corner. Although the new system is user-friendly, intuitive, and designed to minimize learning curve obstacles, the Project Workday Team will provide instructional aids and how-to materials to ensure a smooth transition to the new software. More on that at a later date.
