What is the impact?

Student record is not in Workday​ - Student is unable to login to Workday because their student record has not been transferred to Workday​ due to unresolved duplicate record issues. 

Academic Records with inaccurate Program of Study​ - Students who have moved campus, returned as grad, or some professional programs have issues with the accuracy of the program on their academic record. 

Missing course registrations​ - Student is unable to register in specific courses in the upcoming Winter session because the prerequisite course registration is missing​ or class standing is inaccurate. 

Student's grade is missing, or their Grade letter is inaccurate​ - Missing or Inaccurate grade for a student impacting their class standing or cumulative average for registration appointment and, in turn, their ability to register​, or a pre-requisite requirement is unmet due to missing grade. 

Transfer Credits (External Transcripts/Transfer Articulation) - Due to absence of transfer credit / articulations student is unable to register in required upcoming courses.
