On-Going Training 

Students, Faculty and Staff with training needs are encouraged to utilize the training resources found on this website. Upon addition to a role in Workday, faculty and staff should consult the leadership and support team within their academic unit to determine training needs and work with the subject matter expert(s) in their area for support. If an escalated training need exists, the leadership of the academic unit should contact the functional area office (Bursar, Registrar, Financial Aid) to request training assistance.
