Workday Go-Live Moved to January 5 |
Dear campus community,
Thank you for your continued partnership and preparation as we approach our transition to Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) and Payroll.
In alignment with the university’s announcement extending winter break through January 2, Workday’s go-live date has shifted to January 5, 2026. This brief adjustment ensures that the transition begins at a time when the campus is fully reopened and supported.
Some previously created materials—particularly those that cannot be updated—still reference the earlier January 2 date. Please disregard that date wherever it appears. All go-live planning and support activities are now aligned to January 5.
As we prepare for this final stretch, we encourage you to continue taking steps that will set you up for confidence on day one:
|
- Stay Engaged with Training
Workday 101: Post-Go-Live sessions are now open for registration. These hands-on opportunities are the best way to build familiarity with your inbox, notifications, personal information, time tracking, and payroll features before your first actions in the system. Find the training recommended for you via the Workday Employee Training Map. - Review Your Readiness Materials
Resources such as the Know Before You Go guide and the Stay Engaged page remain your go-to references for understanding what has paused, what resumes at go-live, and where to find support. - How to Track Time Between 12/25 - 1/5
Student workers and hourly employees should track their hours on a calendar or on a log, including in and out times. Once Workday is live on January 5, student workers and hourly employees can enter their time directly into Workday.

Your flexibility, attention, and enthusiasm are helping us bring this multi-year effort across the finish line. Thank you for learning, engaging, and supporting one another as we prepare for a more intuitive, efficient, and connected HR and payroll experience.
We look forward to entering this new chapter together on January 5, 2026.
