Steps: Set Up Academic Standing Policies

Steps: Set Up Academic Standing Policies

Workday delivers academic standing values to measure student performance. Example: Good Standing, Dean's List, or Academic Probation. You can map these values to custom labels that match the terminology and policies of your institution.
You can create rules that Workday uses to calculate:
  • The academic standing for students by academic period.
  • Any additional academic period honors or standing for students.
You can configure academic standing policies to apply to:
  • An academic unit and level. The policy applies to all programs of study in the academic unit and subordinate academic units.
  • A specific program of study.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Academic Standing Values
     task.
    Enter custom labels that your institution uses for academic standing and additional period honors or standings.
    Security:
    Set Up: Academic Policies
     domain in the Academic Foundation functional area.
  2. You can use these eligibility rule types to calculate academic standing:
    • Combination
    • Grade Requirement
    • Unit Requirement

Workday calculates the academic standings for each academic period based on the academic standing policy that:

  • Is effective as of the student's declare date for their primary program of study.
You can view the academic standing policies on the
Academic Unit Policy Viewer
