TechNews, ,

In preparation for our Workday Student move to production, new student employee hiring will be frozen from February 8th through March 1st.  Student employees who previously exist as workers in Workday can be rehired during this period.  Students currently working during this period will continue to work and be paid as usual.

Additionally, there will be a Workday production freeze beginning Wednesday, February 24th at 4pm until Monday morning, March 1st.  Workday will be unavailable for all functions during this time.  Please contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns.

Workday Student Feedback

In preparation for the Workday Student release in March, an enthusiastic group of student and faculty volunteers – representing a range of Simmons programs – recently previewed the application as part of “mock semester” testing. Participants actively engaged in the system – navigating their records and completing typical semester activities including registration and grading. Feedback from testing was very positive and helped the team to identify areas of improvement for user experience and training. 

Stay tuned for opportunities to learn more about Workday Student including demos, Q&A sessions, and brown bag lunches as the March release approaches!

Starting with Fall 2021 registration in March, Simmons Student Information System (SIS) functions begin their move to Workday.  Simmons current SIS, known to most as Colleague or AARC, will be retired and its data migrated and maintained.  Workday Student will bring a modern system that is social, mobile, and flexible; meeting today’s expectations and plotting a strategic course for the future.
