In preparation for the transition to Workday Student as our primary source for Canvas user, course, section, and enrollment data, we would like to provide you with an overview of how this change affects user identification, data synchronization, course management, and the Gradebook export and import functionality within Canvas. Canvas will begin loading Fall 2025 data from Workday Student on 15 May 2025.
How will Faculty & Staff be impacted?
Workday Student is replacing the legacy student information systems WebFAC, Course Listings, and EGrades. If you use Canvas to deliver instructional content, you will continue to do so. Workday will not fundamentally alter MyCanvas functionality; however, the presentation of data within MyCanvas will exhibit important differences. What data elements have changed?
How will Students be impacted?
Workday Student will be the WashU home of advising, registration, student financial management, etc., beginning with the 2025-26 academic year. Workday Student will replace a number of current systems, including Course Listings and WebSTAC. Canvas will remain as the University’s Learning Management System (LMS) with Workday Student as its source of student information (courses, demographics, registrations, etc).
