Academic Affairs Workday SIS Implementation Project

The Academic Affairs Student Information System (SIS) Implementation Project site is your one-stop shop for all news, updates, training, and resources for the Academic Affairs Division.

Workday Student

We are excited to announce that Austin Community College (ACC) will move many student-related activities from Colleague/Datatel to Workday Student. The college recently moved all finance, payroll, and human resources functions to Workday. With the addition of Workday Student, ACC is at the forefront of modernization as the landscape of higher education and technology continues to evolve.

Workday Student gives us an opportunity to implement a modern platform for all student information that can meet ACC’s need for flexibility and growth. Workday Student allows students, faculty, and staff to use features that improve access to information, communication, and user experience. Students will enjoy mobile capabilities, alerts, and reminders, while faculty and staff will have access to dashboards and reporting. This fully integrated technology platform will improve consistency and streamline business processes to better support the educational mission of ACC.
