Elevating Your Student Experience Through Banner & Workday |
|
|
Ole Miss is modernizing its technology systems in a major way, and students like you are at the center of it. Through a multi-year effort called Encompass, we're replacing older systems (including myOleMiss) with two powerful platforms: Banner and Workday.
The goal?
Fewer logins. Fewer steps. Faster access. Everything in one place. And mobile-friendly!
This is the beginning of a smoother, more personalized student experience. We’ll share even more details early in the spring semester.

Banner by Ellucian is becoming the new student information system—the place where you'll handle essential parts of student life. It's more than a single tool; it’s a connected ecosystem launching in phases between now and Fall 2026.
Once Banner is fully available, you will be able to better track your degree progress, find your GPA, contact an advisor, order food, and so much more.Â
As we prepare for our transition, we’re excited to share one of the biggest changes coming your way: Experience—your new student dashboard.
|
Meet Experience: Your New Student Platform
|
|
|
| Experience is a 🌟 mobile-friendly 🌟 dashboard that will eventually become your go-to hub for academic tools and student info. It provides real-time access to essentials like registration, grades, financial aid, and upcoming tasks.
Think of Experience as your new home base for nearly everything you do as a student.
|
| |
- Fewer logins and fewer steps
- A cleaner, more intuitive interface
- Mobile-responsive and accessible
- One spot for tasks, deadlines, notifications, and announcements
|
Beginning early February 2026, a set of tools in Experience will support your registration for Fall 2026 classes. Additional features will roll out throughout the year.
Note: Summer 2026 class registration will remain in myOleMiss.
|
|
|
How It Works: Cards, Pages & Personalized Tools |
|
|
Cards = Your Building Blocks |
Cards are interactive tiles within Experience that function like apps. Each card displays real-time information or links to other tools, such as class schedules, grades, registration, financial aid, announcements, and more.
|
Some cards are purely informational; others let you take action (like registering for classes). Some links lead to more detailed Experience Pages (such as Financial Aid), where you can access expanded information without leaving the portal. There are even some cards available just for fun, like a Sudoku card!

Workday is our new system for HR and payroll—and if you’re a student worker, it’s about to make your job easier. If you are a student worker, you received this communication about Workday in November. If not, the main thing to know for now is the Student Job Board, which launches after Workday goes live on January 5, 2026.
|
The Workday Student Job Board |
|
|
|
If you want to work on campus, Workday is where you’ll find available student jobs starting January 5, 2026.Â
In Workday, you'll be able to search and apply for jobs in one place, start working faster through a more streamlined hiring process, and experience a more intentional onboarding process.
It’s a simpler, more transparent way to find opportunities and get to work, and we can’t wait to share this new experience with you in the new year. Â
|
|
|
Experience is designed to grow with you throughout your time at Ole Miss!
