As we mark two years with Workday HR, Payroll, and Finance, we want to thank our faculty and staff for learning and growing with us. Your feedback has helped us gain valuable insights, and we remain committed to continuous improvement.

In 2026, we’re focusing on making Workday even better for everyone. The Workday Governance Group is making a request for all Appointing Officers to gather feedback on Workday issues, challenges and ideas for improvement. If you have suggestions or concerns, please share them with your direct supervisor or unit head so they can be passed along to your Appointing Officer. 

All submissions will be reviewed and prioritized by the Workday Governance Group, with a summary of key themes and planned updates shared with campus this spring. 

The design phase for Workday Student will conclude in March. During this phase, GVSU teams worked closely with our implementation partner, Alchemy, to define how student processes (like registration, advising, curriculum, and records) will function in the new system. 
 
After the design work is complete, the Workday Student Project Team will begin extensive testing throughout the spring and summer. GVSU will start its first activities in Workday Student in late 2026, with larger transitions and activities taking place throughout 2027.
