About Workday Financial Training

The Workday Financials Project team is committed to providing all employees impacted by the Workday Financial transformation with the skills and knowledge of the Workday Financial system that employees need to perform their jobs effectively.

Why Do I Need Training?

Completing Workday training will help you use Workday as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Workday Financial Training Overview

Role-Specific Training

  • Employees will only be required to complete the training that supports their assigned duties.
  • Every employee impacted by the Workday Financial transformation will be trained for every security role assigned to them. Employees may be assigned multiple roles.

Mandatory

Training completion is required by anyone accessing Workday Financial functionality. 

Automated

  • Training courses and course materials will be assigned to you in the D2L Learning Management System (LMS). 

  • You will receive a message when training becomes available to you and will receive periodic reminders to complete your assigned training. 

Continued Support

Support materials, such as instructional manuals and videos, will be available to you on this Training webpage. You are still required to complete all training assigned to you in D2L. Reviewing information on this page is not sufficient for training completion.

After the go-live date, resources for questions will be available, as will refresher training sessions.

When Will Workday Financial Training Occur?

Currently, Workday Financial training is scheduled to run from May 19 until mid-July 2026.

What Workday Training Do I Need to Take?

Workday Financial training will be assigned based on our assessment of employee duties. If, after the training date, you have not been assigned training and believe your duties require it, please fill out the I Need Workday Training form below and your request will be reviewed.

What if Workday Training Was Assigned to Me in Error?

If you have been assigned training for a Workday role you don't need, our apologies for the confusion. Please fill out the form below to request your name to be taken off Workday training. The project team will review your request and take you off the training list. Please note that if you don't complete this form and simply skip your assigned training, you will continue receiving periodic reminders.
