Who will use Workday Student?
Rhodes College students, faculty, and staff
What is Workday Student?
Workday Student creates an intuitive, cloud-based, student-focused campus management system for students, faculty, and staff. This streamlined experience is social and flexible. Between application and graduation, Rhodes College students will use Workday Student to perform tasks like:
- Update personal information
- Register for, add or drop classes
- View grades
- Check real-time seat availability for courses
- See financial aid awards
- Generate professional-looking unofficial transcripts
- Submit accommodation requests
- Ask for overrides
As a modern platform for all student information, Workday Student meets Rhodes College’s needs for flexibility and growth. Information and communication are more accessible. Students will enjoy its ease of use, alerts, and reminders. And, faculty and staff will appreciate access to dashboards and reporting.
Rhodes College faculty will also use Workday Student to perform tasks like:
- Find/view course schedules and information
- Enter and edit grades
- View advisee information
Rhodes College staff will use Workday Student to perform tasks like:
- View student information
- Create and view courses and sections
- View and manage holds on student accounts
Lastly, there might be parents/guardians who will use Workday Student. If granted access by a Rhodes College student, these third-party users will perform tasks like view student information (courses, grades, account) and financial status.
Ultimately, this fully integrated technology platform will improve consistency and streamline business processes to better support the educational mission of Rhodes College.
When will Workday Student be available to use?
Workday Student for advising and registration goes live on March 20, 2023. Other new functions will be rolled out through the summer and fall of 2023. For more information on the advising and registration timeline, visit the Registrar's website with this link.
When will there be training?
Training and open sessions have already begun for faculty, staff, and students on campus. It will continue through the registration period, and will include summer and fall sessions as new features roll out.
Why is Rhodes College moving to Workday Student?
The current student system cannot meet the challenges of today’s or tomorrow’s student needs. Further, Workday Student not only complements the platform move Rhodes College made a few years back but also allows students to access their academic, personal, financial, and employment records in one place – from anywhere and at any time. Workday provides a functional, quicker, and more cost-effective enterprise system to help manage institutional business requirements.
