Resources for Staff

LSU A&M staff will use Workday when completing tasks related to student advising and registration, course management and student finance and aid. Utilization of Workday for HCM and Financial tasks remains unchanged. 

Step-by-step guides and videos to assist staff in utilizing Workday for student-related functions can be found below. 

Staff can expect a full library of help resources to be located on this site by January 2025.

An active LSU account will be required to access all resources.  Video links may route to a Panopto sign in. Please select the "LSU Moodle" sign in option and use your normal LSU credentials to complete sign in. 

AgCenter staff may experience issues when attempting to view video links. Please contact the College of Agriculture for assistance.

While the project is in the implementation phase, introductory videos will be posted. Please note that references to accessing Workday for student functionality are future-facing. Most faculty, staff and students will not access Workday for student functionality until mid-spring 2025.
