University of
Arkansas System to Align 21,000 Course Offerings Under
Common Course Numbering Across 14 Campuses to Help Students
Graduate Faster and At a Lower Cost
PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leading provider of
solutions to help organizations manage their people and money,
today announced that seven higher education institutions within the
University of Arkansas System are live
on Workday Student. As part of a phased implementation for
University of Arkansas System, the
remaining institutions are expected to be live on Workday Student
by Spring 2025.
University of Arkansas
System comprises several higher education institutions across
14 campuses – including a medical school, law schools, community
colleges, and more – enrolling more than 70,000 students and
employing nearly 30,000 faculty and staff. As part of the first
phase of implementing Workday Student, University Arkansas System
will provide students, faculty, and staff with a unified experience
to manage academics, employment, finances, payroll, time tracking,
and more.
"To keep pace with the speed of change, it is critical that we
have a modernized system that can support and scale with the
evolving needs of our students, faculty, and staff," said
Steven Fulkerson, CIO, University of Arkansas System. "Workday is an
integral partner in our digital transformation journey and with
Workday Student, we're extending the value of the platform even
further by making it easier for students to build class schedules,
manage financial aid, view attendance, and more while empowering
our schools to manage the academic experience and support student
success."
With Workday Student, University of
Arkansas System is:
- Leveraging One Platform for Finance, HR, and Student
Data. By consolidating its more than 30 disparate systems
of participating institutions across finance, HR, and operations
into one cloud-based platform – which includes Workday Financial
Management, Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), and Workday
Student – University of Arkansas System
has a comprehensive, real-time view into its bespoke data. This
includes registration, absences, curriculum, talent and staffing
needs, changes in enrollment numbers, supplier costs, expenses, and
more.
- Delivering Engaging Student Experiences. Workday Student
provides students with self-service capabilities to more
efficiently register for courses, track work study hours, manage
financial aid, view grades, request an advising appointment, and
more – all through a mobile device.
- Fueling Student Success with Common Course Numbering.
University of Arkansas System is
adopting common course numbering to develop a comprehensive index
of subject codes and course numbers for 21,000 offerings across all
system schools. Workday Student is supporting this initiative by
making it easier for students to see if they are taking the right
courses to transfer between schools and continue their path to
earning a degree.
"As higher education institutions navigate ever-changing
industry challenges – fluctuating enrollment, increased pressure to
modernize the student experience, and improve revenue planning –
it's critical they have insight into the data needed to make
quicker, more informed decisions," said Michael Hofherr, general manager of state and
local government and higher education, Workday. "With Workday
Student, University of Arkansas System
will have a single solution that brings together finance, HR, and
academics data so they can adapt to changing needs while delivering
elevated user experiences across its schools."
