Workday Project Update

Where We Are Now: Countdown to Workday Go-Live

With just a few weeks to go before Workday officially launches on December 14, the project is entering its final stretch. Testing and data validation are complete, training opportunities are underway, and teams across campus are preparing for the transition from Banner to Workday.

The focus this month is on readiness. Functional leads and project team members are reviewing final configuration settings, validating integrations, finalizing training materials, and confirming that reports, security roles, and business processes are working as expected. Registration for live training sessions is now open in EngageD - use the key search word "Workday" to view and register for the upcoming sessions scheduled between December 3-12.

In early December, we鈥檒l begin our cutover period, when the college transitions from our legacy systems into Workday. During this time, some systems and transactions may be paused to ensure a smooth transition. For a list of key cutover dates and important details about what to expect, visit the Workday Project Website.

We鈥檙e grateful for the hard work and patience of everyone involved in this effort. The move to Workday marks a major milestone in modernizing our administrative systems, simplifying processes, improving access to data, and creating a more connected experience for employees across campus.

As we move closer to our Go-Live date in December, we continue to progress through the final stages of our Workday implementation, and are grateful for all of the collaboration across campus. Together, we鈥檙e transforming our technology into a modern system that will support Dickinson well into the future.
