Go-live for Workday Student involves a series of launches during the 2023-24.  The functionality of Phase 1 Workday for students allows new students to apply at TSTC for the Fall 2024 semester. Unless you work with student applications, you will not see these changes and will not affect your interactions within Workday.

The system we go-live with in 2023-24 will be the most up-to-date version of Workday, with updates pushed to us every six months. This is one of the benefits of a cloud-based system. This extended timeline helps set the stage for success by giving us time to mitigate risks and address opportunities. Specifically, the timeline allows us to: 

• Prepare our data for conversion

• Complete assessments needed to support system integrations

• Identify and make any desired policy or process changes in advance of go-live

Workday Student also follows a different structure for go-live than HR and Finance. Student’s rolling go-live occurs over the course of one academic year, which adds a year to the Student timeline. The length of the system implementation itself is three years, the same as HR and Finance.

All TSTC employees have access to Workday for employee self-service tasks like entering time, submitting leave requests and expense reports. Since Workday Student operates on the same platform, we’re all getting a preview of how Workday Student will look and feel.  

The project team is working to design and configure Workday Student before we can demonstrate student functionality with a wider audience. Opportunities to experience Workday Student will increase in frequency the closer we get to our first launch in early 2024.

The Workday Student Training Calendar is provided on the TSTC Works Student website.  Invitations to these sessions will be sent out via email to individuals and departments impacted. Details will be continuously updated on this website.

Workday Student Technical Support is available on the TSTC Works site.  Should you encounter any pressing matters during the maintenance periods, please contact the OIT Help Desk at (800) 592-8784 or the TSTC HelpDesk chat.
