You can track these types of activities in Workday:
  • Orientation.
  • Study Abroad.
  • Practical Learning.
You can also:
  • Register students in the activity when you select the
    Enrollable & Eligible
    behavior for the activity.
  • Assign meeting patterns and locations when you select the
    Schedulable
    behavior for these activities:
    • Orientation.
    • Practical Learning.
