Workstreams & Teams

What is a Workstream?

A workstream is a team of MHC staff and faculty that focus on building a particular component, or functional area, of Workday​. A workstream consists of a lead and multiple subject matter experts (SMEs). A workstream is a subgroup of the larger Workday Student Project implementation team.

There are 6 functional workstreams listed below. Functional workstream efforts are intertwined with technical workstreams for integrations, data, reporting, and security. All workstreams work both independently and collaboratively with one another to ensure all the functionality needed for our new student information system is identified, designed, and configured to meet MHC’s business needs. 

Academic Foundations focuses on managing the foundational academic data and structures within Workday Student, including setting up academic programs, degrees, courses, and the overall structure of the College’s academic offerings. It also supports the alignment of student data with the curriculum.

Curriculum & Advising supports academic affairs, curriculum planning, and academic advising. It assists in the creation and management of course catalogs, advising workflows, academic planning, building student schedules, and ensuring students receive the necessary guidance and self-service tools to navigate their academic journey.  

Financial Aid workstream focuses on managing the process of awarding and distributing financial aid to students. It involves tracking scholarships, grants, loans, and other forms of financial support, ensuring students receive the necessary aid for their education.

Recruitment & Admissions covers the processes of recruiting and admitting students,  and how Workday will interact with other administrative systems to support Prospective Students’ transition to the matriculation phase. The workstream manages student applications, applicant data, admission decisions, and the overall admissions lifecycle.
