Workday Student Information System
Welcome to Workday
We're excited to introduce Workday, UAFS's new go-to student information system. Whether it's registering classes, planning your schedule, reviewing financial aid awards, or updating personal information, Workday brings everything together in one spot. Current UAFS students now have access to Workday and will use the system for Fall 2025 and beyond.
The first task students should complete in the new system is the Continuing Student Onboarding Task. This will allow you to ensure your personal and financial information is accurate
and that you are ready to register for classes.
*** Please note: Blackboard and Navigate are not going away. These platforms will continue to be used.
Why Change to Workday?
Workday offers a modern, user-friendly experience with tools that make managing your academic life simpler. It may look different, but we think you'll come to love the added features and accessibility.
Switching to something new can feel like a lot, but don't stress — we're here to help you every step of the way. Workday is designed with students in mind, so you'll get the hang of it in no time. Plus we have plenty of tips, guides, and a friendly support team ready to make sure you feel confident and ready to roll. You've got this, and we've got your back!

Workday Mobile App

and update your personal contact information. Review the linked guides on how to install the app and view the features available.
Onboarding Explained
Onboarding is a required Workday process that helps you prepare for advising and registration each term. It’s a quick checklist of necessary tasks that will appear in your Workday “My Tasks” section. These tasks may include confirming your contact information, authorizing financial aid, and completing critical academic acknowledgments.
Be sure to complete onboarding as soon as possible to move forward with course registration and avoid delays.
To begin the onboarding process:
- Log in to Workday.
- Click on the "My Tasks" icon located in the top right corner of the page.
- Review the information and complete the required actions.
- Click Submit.
- Repeat steps two and three for all assigned onboarding materials.
Schedule an Academic Advising Appointment
Current students will continue to use Navigate to schedule time with their academic advisor.
New Fall 2025 students will receive an email at their uafs.edu address with instructions on scheduling their advising appointments.
Get Ready to Register in Workday
You need to review the following items before registering for courses in Workday. All the items you need to review are conveniently in one place: your Academics Hub! View the Preparing for Registration Quick Reference Guide.
- Complete your student onboarding. Onboarding is a series of tasks, including things like updating your contact information and financial aid authorization, that will get you ready for registration. Please don't wait on this. You cannot register until your onboarding is complete.
- Look up when your registration window opens. In Workday this is called "Find Registration Appointment." Go to the menu at the top left of your Workday homepage and select "Academics Hub." The "Find Registration Appointment" link will be listed in the right column of the page.
- Review and resolve any registration holds. Holds can prevent you from registering. To check if you have any holds, navigate to your profile and then select "Action Items and Holds" from the left-side menu. Alternatively, you can search for "View My Active Holds" in the search bar. You will find information on how to address each hold listed on the hold, but if you have any questions, your advisor can assist you.
- Meet with your advisor. You can view your advisor(s) in the Academics Hub. Current students will continue to use Navigate to schedule time with their academic advisors.
Once all of these steps are complete, you are ready to register!
View Course Schedules
As we transition to Workday, we want to make the process as smooth as possible for all students.

What’s Changing?
UAFS is transitioning to the five-digit common course numbering index of the University of Arkansas System. All Fall
2025 UAFS courses will have a new number. You can look up your new course number on
