LSU announced plans to introduce Workday as its official student information system, with student-centered functionalities expected to go live in Spring 2025, according to a university statement.

The transition will impact students, faculty and staff, as it aims to modernize and streamline various administrative processes across the university. LSU A&M, LSU of Alexandria, LSU Eunice and LSU Shreveport are collaborating on the project.

According to the statement, faculty will be able to access course rosters, email students and submit grades. However, they can continue using Moodle for these tasks if preferred. 

The university has also launched a Workday Student website. A project timeline and general updates can be found on it.

For students, the system will provide tools for class registration, degree progress tracking, financial information access and transcript requests, offering a more comprehensive platform for academic management, the statement said.

Staff in academic departments and student-facing offices should experience a more centralized workflow and better access to real-time data, which the university hopes will enhance daily operations.
