April 29, 2026 – Updated Timeline for Student Employment as we Transition to Workday
by Jaelynn Blenkush
Hello,
As you have likely seen, Jenn Haas sent out an email on Monday, 4/27, with updated timelines for Workday. I wanted to follow up with how this adjusted timeline looks for student employment. Please note the updated dates below.
Academic Year 2026-2027 Hiring:
Returning Students
- June 1: All academic year job postings should be closed in JobX. Students must accept their job offer in JobX by June 1 in order for their position to be carried over into Workday. Any offer that is not accepted by this date will not transfer into the new system. If your position is not filled by June 1 and you would like to continue recruiting, you will need to repost and manage the hiring process in Workday beginning June 15. All students who have been successfully hired in JobX by June 1 will have their data migrated into Workday, and they can begin working this fall.
- June 2 – June 14: Hiring Freeze. There will be a freeze on student hiring during this period. No new job postings, hires, or job changes can be processed. These two weeks are critical to our Workday implementation, as we will be finalizing data conversation and entering remaining student employment transactions from Banner into Workday to ensure accurate records at go-live.
- June 15: Workday Go-Live – Hiring Resumes. Hiring activity will officially resume. Beginning on this date, supervisors may post student jobs, review applicants and complete hiring directly within Workday. All student employment actions moving forward- including job postings, offers, hires and job changes must be completed in Workday.
- June 29: First Year Student Hiring Begins. Incoming first year students will be instructed to start applying for jobs in Workday.
Summer 2026 Hiring:
- June 5: Recruiting/ hiring for summer job positions will close in JobX. Students must accept their job offer in JobX by June 5 in order for their position to be carried over into Workday. Offers that are not accepted by this date will not transfer into Workday.
- June 6 – June 14: Hiring Freeze. There will be a freeze on student hiring during this period. No new job postings, hires, or job changes can be processed. These two weeks are critical to our Workday implementation, as we will be finalizing data conversation and entering remaining student employment transactions from Banner into Workday to ensure accurate records at go-live.
- June 15: Workday Go-Live – Hiring Resumes. Hiring activity will officially resume. Beginning on this date, supervisors may post student jobs, review applicants and complete hiring directly within Workday. All student employment actions moving forward- including job postings, offers, hires and job changes must be completed in Workday.
Be sure to join us on Monday, May 18th from 9:00am- 10:00am for a zoom training session for our transition to Workday specifically for supervisors of student employees. You can sign up for the Spring Bloom session here.
