Mass Enroll Learners

Create a course offering or digital course.
Workday enables you to manage learner enrollments in a number of different ways depending on your access level. You can use different methods to mass enroll learners into a course offering or digital course.

    • Extended Enterprise Affiliation
    • Location Hierarchy
    • Supervisory Organization
  2. Access 1 of these tasks or buttons depending on your access level:
