Steps: Set Up Program of Study Status Reasons

Steps: Set Up Program of Study Status Reasons

You can set up reasons to accompany a student's program of study status changes. Workday supports multiple institutions partitioning, enabling you to manage program of study status reasons by institution. Configure your own or the Workday-delivered reasons for these statuses:
  • Discontinued
  • Dismissed
  • Institutional Withdrawal
  • Leave of Absence
  • Suspended
  1. Access the
    Maintain Program of Study Status Reasons
    task.
    For tenants with multiple institutions, you can only select the institutions associated with the academic units to which you have access. If you're a single-institution or have access to only 1 institution, we bypass the
    Institution
    field.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Associate each reason with a program of study status. You can configure whether the reason is available on these tasks:

  • For multiple institutions, the program of study status reason is only available for the institution you configured it for.
  • Depending on your configuration, you and your students can select a reason when the student's program of study status changes.
  • Workday displays the reason on the
    Overview
    report on the Academics profile group of the student profile.
  • To edit a reason you created, access the
    Edit Student Program of Study Record Status Reason
    task.

    Edit Programs of Study for Student
    task.
