Workday Training
Workday is here! On June 27, 2017, the University’s antiquated, 35-year-old legacy human resources and payroll system were replaced by a new cloud-based software called Workday.
For more information about Workday training and to access instructional videos and user guides please visit the Integrated Service Center (ISC) website.
Two-Factor Authentication
All employees need to enroll in Duo for two-factor authentication (2FA) to access Workday.
Security role holders must be enrolled in 2FA prior to training.
