» Workday
Workday is the new all-in-one system Northwest is implementing to serve human resources tasks, payroll, budgeting, class registration and more — all in one place. It is cloud-based, mobile-friendly and designed for modern campuses like ours.
Workday will revolutionize the student and employee experience at Northwest by delivering a modern, intuitive mobile friendly platform.
It will optimize how we work, by streamlining processes, improving data integrity and enabling real-time decision making. It also will align our systems — integrating finance, human resources, payroll and student services into a single, cohesive platform.
Using Workday helps Northwest drive innovation and sustainability to strengthen the University experience for Bearcats.
Workday unifies finance, human resources, payroll and student data — creating a seamless experience for the entire Bearcat community.
With real-time data and intuitive dashboards, users can make faster, more informed decisions that support student success and strategic growth.
Additionally, Workday Student puts students first — with a mobile-friendly, self-service experience that makes it easier than ever to register for classes, manage financial aid and track academic progress.
Workday’s cloud technology means we’re always up to date, with built-in security and compliance — no manual updates or system downtime required.
As Northwest continues to grow and evolve, Workday gives us the flexibility to adapt — supporting innovation and continuous improvement across campus.
Northwest students will experience easier registration, clearer financial aid info, and real-time updates. Students will be able to handle most tasks on their phone.
Workday will help Northwest streamline processes for time sheets, budgeting, hiring, approvals and more — leaving less paperwork and more time for work that matters.
Absolutely. Northwest will offer step-by-step guides, videos and support for all employees and students. Stay tuned for the types of training we'll offer, what the courses will cover and when you can expect training.
