Sometimes after a go-live in Workday Student, you have to correct a student's academic record if something didn't convert properly. If you have to do this, here are the steps to "unlock" a student's academic record:1) Go to "Edit Program of Study for Student". Review their completion information and document it elsewhere (e.g. Excel). Confirm if there were any changes to the programs of study in the final completion row.2) Go back into the student's record. To change a course registration (e.g. units), you have to go to "Assign Student Grade" and remove the grade first. Then the course becomes available to edit.3) Make any other changes you need to make on the student's record. Compare that the credits and GPAs match with your legacy SIS before going back to "lock up" the students record. 4) Off the related actions, complete the student's record again. Refer to your notes on the conferral date.5) Go back into "Edit Program of Study for Student". Change the completion date to match what it was previously (as it doesn't pull in the conferral date you entered on the completion task). 6) Make sure to have someone remove any Attendance Plan Load Status Holds which are automatically put on when you go into the "Edit Program of Study for Student" task.These steps take about 5-10 minutes per student.All this to say, it's very important to have a thoughtful data conversion strategy. While the standard Workday recommendation is to convert all student data that have graduated in the last 3-5 years, you have to consider if that's right for your institution. If you're a Community College that might might sense as many students return. But if you're a professional school or 4 year institution where few students return, going with converting students as "Historical Academic Records" that are a text file might be a better option. It's a massive undertaking to convert student data, especially if there are a lot of exceptions or there were not strong data practices in your legacy SIS. #workdaystudent

📚 The Power of #Education: Unlocking Infinite Possibilities! 🌟🔍 As the world rapidly evolves, education stands as the key that unlocks the doors to a brighter and more #promisingfuture. Today, I want to emphasize the immense importance of education and the transformative impact it has on individuals, societies, and the #globalcommunity. 🌍🚀 #Education is not merely about memorizing facts and figures; it is about cultivating critical thinking, fostering creativity, and nurturing a thirst for knowledge that propels us forward. It equips us with the skills and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Whether in classrooms, online platforms, or informal #learningenvironments, education empowers us to adapt, innovate, and excel in an ever-changing landscape. 🌱 At every stage of life, education plays a pivotal role. Early childhood education lays the foundation for curiosity and a love of #learning. Primary and secondary education instills discipline and broadens our horizons. Higher education offers specialized knowledge and expertise, leading to groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in various fields. Lifelong #learning enables continuous growth and adaptability, keeping us relevant and engaged in a rapidly evolving #job market. 🎓🌟 Beyond #personaldevelopment, education serves as a powerful catalyst for social progress. It diminishes socio-economic disparities by providing opportunities to marginalized communities, fostering equality and inclusivity. Education empowers individuals to make informed decisions, driving positive change in their communities and shaping a better world for all. 🌈💡 Embracing the importance of education is not only the responsibility of individuals but also that of governments, institutions, and organizations. Together, we must invest in quality education, ensure accessibility for all, and support educators who play a pivotal role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Let us collaborate to build a society that values and celebrates education as a cornerstone of progress. 🤝🙏 Today, I invite you to reflect on the impact education has had on your life and the countless opportunities it has provided. Let's celebrate the teachers and mentors who have shaped our journeys, and let's commit to being lifelong learners, continually seeking knowledge and embracing growth. Together, we can create a world where education knows no boundaries and where every individual has the chance to reach their full potential. 🌟#universityalliances #linkedinlearning #school #teacher #sap #saptraining

At the Alliance for Adult Education Foundation we are pleased and supportive of the current bipartisan efforts in Washington to expand access to online skills trading programs. No time has it been so important to massively upskill America’s workforce. In our DisruptED 5G-Wired-Workforce-Augmented world of learning and work, new opportunities are happening at lightning speed. The World Economic Forum predicts that upwards of 50% of employees will require upskilling by 2025! That’s minutes from now. Companies like IBM are getting in front of this. Justina Nixon-Saintil shares programs like IBM Skills Build which provide critical training to those in underrepresented communities. As Chief Impact Officer for IBM, talk about impact! If ever there was a time for bipartisanship, it’s now! Let’s continue to build a coalition that delivers on the promise of good jobs with the necessary skills.MarketScale Tim Maitland Jane Oates Byron Auguste Brandon Busteed Heather E.
