The Workday Divestiture Project | Human Resources | BYU-Idaho

# The Workday Divestiture Project

## BYU-Idaho Is Getting Our Own Version of Workday

Starting in December 2025, BYU-Idaho will transition to a campus-specific version of Workday.

As part of this effort--what we're calling the 'divestiture' project--BYU‑Idaho will move into a customized version of Workday separate from Ensign College and BYU-Hawaii.

This change, led by Human Resources and Financial Services, means our HR and finance tools will be tailored, easier to use, fully aligned with how we work here, and help us better support the evolving needs of the University.

## High Level Timeline

November - December 2025

Blackout Periods

Please review the Blackout Dates that apply to you and plan accordingly.

Starting in December 2025, BYU-Idaho will transition to a campus-specific version of Workday. This change, led by Human Resources and Financial Services, will improve system functionality and better support the university's unique needs. 
 
We are divesting, or separating, from BYU-Hawaii and Ensign College to a version of Workday exclusive to BYU-Idaho. This effort will increase autonomy and flexibility in operations and help us realize the benefits of enhanced functionality to support the evolving needs of the University.

Every employee will benefit as we seek to optimize and simplify the Human Resources and Finance Workday user experience. 
 
One example of simplification, when submitting requests with Purchasing, Expenses or Travel, all the "I:" will be gone.

Several blackout periods will temporarily pause different types of transactions in the current Workday system. These will include activities such as university card purchases, new employee hiring, expense reports, and more. 
 
Detailed information regarding what actions will be restricted and when will be sent as we get closer to the blackout. Please look for these communications.

All project teams will work together to create new training that help campus employees make the most of Workday. 
 
In-person training sessions will be scheduled and announced when ready. 
 
All new training materials will be shared through Workday communications.

# Workday for Managers

## Monitoring Student Employee ACA Hours

The ACA Tool shows a student's current total ACA hours worked. The ACA Forecasting Tool projects the number of ACA hours an employee will have on a specified date and the average weekly hours available until the end of the yearly measurement period.

This is useful to determine how many hours a student can work on his/her on or off-track, between semesters, etc. It helps managers to plan appropriately a student's hours, while keeping them under the 1,300 hour limit. The ACA tool is located on the Workday home page.

Workday Learning | Human Resources | BYU-Idaho

# Workday Learning

Workday Learning is a new module that was just added to the Workday system at BYU-Idaho. Workday Learning is a training management system designed for workforce training. It is not an academic or classroom LMS; it is a product that is specifically designed for workplace training and development.

VIDEO: Introduction to Workday Learning 
 
Note: If you do not see the "Learning" icon on your Workday homepage, follow the instructions on the attached video. ("How to Add a Worklet")

- Workday Learning is ****fully integrated**** into BYU-Idaho's Workday system.
- Online training courses can be gathered in one****central location.****
- The system can host ****third-party content****(e.g., from YouTube or Skillsoft).
- Employees can ****create content**** and have it loaded into the system.
- Supervisors can ****assign**** existing training ****courses**** to their employees.
- Supervisors can ****view completion reports**** for training they have assigned.

We currently have thousands of training courses loaded into the system. Content in the system currently comes from three different sources: 

1. Content we create.
2. Content from 10 YouTube Learning Channels (e.g., Columbia University, University of Michigan, Wharton School of Business, MS Office 365, etc.)
3. Content from Skillsoft Compliance (e.g., harassment, Title IX, FMLA, HIPAA, Workplace Safety, etc.)

Important: There is NO ****content creation software**** included in Workday Learning. ****You simply create training lessons in PowerPoint, Video (MP4), PDF, etc.**** Once you have created your content, you can work with Human Resources, and they will review it and upload it into the Workday Learning system. 
 
Of note, when creating content, please remember the following: 

- Do not violate copyright laws.
- Utilize the university's branding tools to keep training content consistent with BYU-Idaho's branding standards.
- File size for content is limited to 20 GB per file. And larger files take longer to upload.

- Presentation Practice Center 
- PowerPoint Templates for BYU-Idaho 
- Faculty Technology Center 
- AV and Broadcast Productions 
 
Consider using Zoom, Kaltura, or Adobe Captivate for creating video training.

Become a Year-round Student | BYU-Idaho

# Become a Year-round Student at BYU-Idaho

Make the most of your off-track (flex) semester by becoming a year-round student.

## Why Should You Consider Being a Student Year-round?

Students who take classes each semester year-round have a greater commitment to finish their education than those who do not attend year-round. Higher persistence rates lead to higher graduation rates. 
 
Benefits include: 

- Chart a clear path to graduation
- Graduate faster
- Save money
- Start a career sooner

## How Can You Be a Year-round Student?

There are many options to consider as you plan your path to graduation. Find out which year-round options are best for you.

### Take 30 Credits Per Year

If possible, enroll for 12 credits each semester during your on-track semesters and 6 credits during your off-track semester. Keep in mind that if you want to take on-campus classes during your off-track, you will need to obtain an override from the Admissions Office.

### Reduced Tuition for Off-track Online Classes

If you take only online courses during your off-track semester, you receive a $50 discount per credit for your tuition. This discount only applies to enrolled online classes during your off-track semester. Taking a mix of on-campus and online classes disqualifies the tuition discount. In addition, if you are enrolled in distance classes (e.g. internships, tours, or student teaching) or audit classes during your off-track, you are unable to receive this tuition discount. However, you might qualify for financial aid during your off-track. Contact the Financial Aid Office to find out.

### Complete an Internship During Off-track Semester

Your off-track is a great time to complete an internship for your degree. Most BYU-Idaho academic programs require internships. Visit the Internships Office to search for and apply for internships.
