Workday Student is now UA Little Rock’s primary information system for Fall 2025 and subsequent semesters. A series of required tasks are ready for students to complete to prepare them to register for Fall classes. These tasks are displayed on the homepage of Workday in the My Tasks section.
Where We Are
We have enabled the student self-service kiosk to complete new and continued student onboarding one month from launching the Advising feature and two months from opening registration for Fall 2025. Please refer to the timeline as we rapidly approach Milestone 3 and Milestone 4. Please note that BOSS/Banner/Degreeworks will still be used for student activities during the Summer 2025 semester.
What You Need to Know
Here are the key details as we turn on the student self-service kiosk:
- Students will receive instructions for logging in to Workday. A series of tasks will be ready for them to complete that will prepare them to register for Fall classes. Training videos and quick reference guides for using Workday are available now. We plan to have the access instructions sent to students and campus by next week! Remember, students will access Workday as you do now by going to workday.ualr.edu. Please note there will changes to the password setup process outside of BOSS.
- While BOSS/Banner/Degreeworks will still be used for student activities during the Summer 2025 semester, all continuing and new Fall 2025 students will use Workday to enroll in Fall 2025 classes, review Fall 2025 financial aid (when available), and review/pay tuition and fees for Fall 2025 (when available).
- Note that Workday will not replace Blackboard. Students will continue to use Blackboard for course instruction and virtual learning.
How to Login to Workday
