Workday For Parents & Friends

Workday Access

If your student has designated you as a third party, you can access the financial and academic information that they enable for you using Workday.

-   The Workday URL for third parties differs from students and employees.

-   If you use Workday as a worker, for third party login an in-private or incognito browser window may prevent errors.

-   Chrome is the preferred browser.

- Your username is not your email address.

Troubleshooting

- If you receive an invalid user error, then make sure you are using the login link at the top of this column.
