What is Workday Student?
Think of Workday Student as the glow-up for student systems. It’s a modern, cloud-based platform that brings admissions, advising, registration, financial aid, and student finances together in one smart, streamlined place. Fewer clicks, fewer workarounds, better data—and a much smoother experience for students and the teams who support them. Basically, it’s how Chatham is trading duct tape and spreadsheets for clarity, connection, and student success.
Why Workday Student?
The transition sets Chatham up to be more agile, make better decisions faster, and—most importantly—support student success from application to graduation and beyond.
- Elevate the student experience.
Create clear, supportive educational pathways with an easy-to-use self-service interface that puts students first.
- Transform day-to-day work.
Simplify processes across student-supporting departments, reduce manual work, and increase flexibility and agility.
- Make smarter decisions, faster.
See the full picture with employee, finance, and student data unified in one platform—powered by real-time analytics.
- Go all in on student success.
Import external data, identify at-risk students sooner, and respond in real time to help every student stay on track.
Workday Student Demo
Institutions switch from Anthology SIS to Workday Student SIS to gain a fully unified, cloud-native platform that integrates HR, Finance, and Student data for smoother workflows and real-time analytics. Workday also delivers a more modern, intuitive user experience with stronger automation and long-term scalability.
