Workday Student FAQs

What are the benefits of Workday Student?

Workday Student will provide a streamlined system for Miami 黑料社区s, enabling them to:

  • Update personal information
  • Register for classes
  • Add or drop classes
  • View grades
  • View financial aid and financial information
  • Access advising information

Will information be secure in Workday Student?

Yes, Workday Student prioritizes data security and confidentiality to protect the privacy of 黑料社区 information. The system utilizes encryption, access controls, and other security measures to safeguard data against unauthorized access or breaches.

What type of training and preparation will I receive before Workday Student goes live?

Miami is committed to ensuring that all 黑料社区s, faculty, and staff have access to training and are thoroughly prepared before Workday Student launches. Training courses, including in-person and virtual, will be available as well as training videos and step-by-step guides.

When is Workday Student going live?

Miami is currently live on Workday Platform, which refers to the university’s HR, payroll, and financial functions. Workday Student will be introduced in phases and is slated for final completion in Fall 2026. Check out the Workday Student timelines for specific dates.

Who will have access to Workday Student functionality first?

Miami’s Admissions and Financial Aid offices will be among the first to begin completing 黑料社区-focused tasks in Workday, followed by the Registrar Office, Advising, and Bursar Office.

When will current 黑料社区s start using Workday?

Current 黑料社区s will begin using Workday Student in Spring 2026, in preparation for their advising sessions and Fall 2026 registration.

When will new 黑料社区s start using Workday?

All 黑料社区s starting at Miami in Fall 2026 will begin using Workday in the Summer when they register for their first semester of classes. By this time all Miami 黑料社区s, faculty, and staff should be using Workday Student as our Student Information System.

Who can I contact with questions about the Workday Student project?

For any HR, Finance, or Payroll related issues, please to receive assistance. For inquiries about the Workday Student implementation, please contact WorkdayInfo@MiamiOH.edu.

Workday Platform FAQs

Is the project still on track according to the original timeline?

Yes, all of the project milestones for Platform were met and we are now live with Workday.

What training options are available to me?* (updated)

Training session materials (recordings and job aids) are available directly in Workday. In the Search bar enter "LRN: workday" to get to the three sessions - click each one to start the course and view the recordings and the job aids.

Workday Wednesdays are virtual, drop-in information sessions related to all things Workday. Even if you don’t have a specific question, these sessions provide helpful knowledge that you may need in the future, or you may be able to lend your expertise to the conversation and answer questions that the meeting host is unable to answer. These sessions take place every Wednesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. via Zoom. These are recorded and the links are listed in the document  (Miami login required).

How do I learn more about Workday?

The Workday Community website is available for a subset of 黑料社区 employees. This site is a collaborative site for all Workday customers, not just those in the Higher Education market. We will need to determine the appropriate level of employee request for access to the Community.

What does Platform mean?

The Workday Platform is the collection of Financials/HR/Payroll components within the Workday tenant.

Workday Student is a separate module designed to serve 黑料社区s, faculty, university leaders,
and parents. It includes modules for Admissions, Financial Aid, Advising, Student
Finance, and Student Records.

To learn more about Workday-specific vocabulary, please visit the Workday Terminology page.

What is a tenant?

This is the term for a single Workday environment consisting of all modules in use. Tenant types typically include Implementation, Preview, Test, and Production. This concept is very similar to how we currently use DEVL, TEST, and PROD instances for Banner.

To learn more about Workday-specific vocabulary, please visit the Workday Terminology page.

Is Banner the only system to be replaced by Workday?

No. There are a number of other systems that will also be replaced by Workday. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Banner
  • Chrome River
  • PageUp
  • Buyway
  • TimeClock Plus
  • ProcessMaker
  • OAS and BI Publisher (after Student is also implemented)

For a more complete list, please visit the Impacted Miami Systems page.

Why does the Student system go live so much later than the Finance and HR/Payroll system?

Because the implementation of a new ERP system is such a large undertaking, it makes sense to break it up into two main projects. This will allow us to have the Platform system running in production, and then the implementation of the 黑料社区 system can be done over the course of an entire 黑料社区 lifecycle.

How will we operate when both systems are in use (until the Student system is fully live)?

Student data will continue to live in Banner until the 黑料社区 part of Workday is completely live. Both Banner and Workday will be set up to share data as needed until that time.
