Workday Student is being implemented on UA System campuses to manage the administrative processes involved with student records, financial aid, student accounts, academic advising, and admissions.
As a student, you will use Workday to explore course schedules, review your financial aid, view grades, track your academic progress, manage your student account, and pay tuition and fees.

About Academic Records
All institutions within the University of Arkansas System have moved to Workday as their human resources, finance, and student information system. Any records that you have as a current or former student or as a current or former employee at any of our system institutions are all housed in one place, Workday, for you to access.
You may see academic records for campuses you previously attended as well as those you currently attend – that is expected. All previous records at UA System institutions will display and they cannot be removed or unlinked. On the Summary page of your profile, you will note your Status for each institution as Active or Inactive. Institutions you are no longer attending will display as Inactive. Note that only you can see your records across all institutions; each institution can only see the record for their campus.
If you have questions about the academic record that displays or feel that you are no longer an active student at an institution that is sending you action items, please contact the registrar at the institution in which you are/were enrolled to inquire about your status. If you have questions about your employment record or status at an institution, please contact Human Resources at the institution at which you were employed. Contact information for both areas are listed below.
