Example Steps: Evaluate Residency Status for Student Applicants

Example Steps: Evaluate Residency Status for Student Applicants

This example illustrates how to automate residency status evaluations for student applicants.
Alma Mater University (AMU) offers different tuition rates for in-state residents. To evaluate students’ eligibility for discounted in-state tuition, AMU distributes a questionnaire to ask applicants about their citizenship status and state of residency. Workday automatically maps the residency questionnaire responses of applicants to numerical values, calculating a score that determines their residency statuses.
Create a student external site with the name
AMU Undergraduate External Student Site
.
Configure the
Student Residency Event
 business process in the Student Core functional area.
Security:
Set Up: External Site Student Residency Configuration
 in the Academic Foundation functional area.
  1. Create a residency questionnaire.
  2. Create a residency calculation mapping.
  3. Configure the
    Student Residency Event
     and
    Student Application Create Event
     Business processes to send out the residency questionnaire and evaluate residency statuses of applicants based on their responses.
  4. Access the
    Configure Residency for External Student Site
     task.
    Ensure that the residency questionnaire is available to applicants on the student external site.
    1. Select
      AMU Undergraduate External Student Site
       from the
      External Student Site
       prompt.
    2. Click
      OK
      .
    3. Select the
      Allow Applicants to Submit Residency Questionnaires
       check box.
    4. Click
      OK
       and
      Done
      .
After applicants submit their applications, the residency questionnaire displays in the
Residency Tasks
 section of the student external site. When applicants complete their residency questionnaires, Workday automatically calculates their residency status based on their responses. Workday also updates residency information fields that financial aid rule sets and packages use to calculate tuition costs.
