Resources for Faculty 

LSU A&M and AgCenter faculty will use Workday for a variety of tasks. Several step-by-step guides and videos will be produced to assist faculty in learning how to use Workday for student and instructional functions. 

An active LSU account will be required to access all resources. Video links may route to a Panopto sign in. Please select the "LSU Moodle" sign in option and use your normal LSU credentials to complete sign in.

LSU AgCenter employees may experience issues accessing video links. Should this occur, please find the videos in the College of Agriculture Faculty Moodle resource.

While the project is in the implementation phase, introductory videos will be posted. Please note that references to accessing Workday for student functionality are future-facing. Faculty, staff and students will not access Workday for student functionality until early Spring 2025.

Terminology Changes

Teaching Faculty and Instructors should utilize these guides to understand items in Workday related to their course sections, rosters, and grading activities. 

Please note that course related activities will not be utilized in Workday until the Summer 2025 term. 

Beginning in Summer 2025, we encourage all teaching faculty to utilize their teaching dashboard for the easiest access to course related items. As a reminder, Moodle remains the Learning Management System for LSU A&M and is an option for submitting grades.

Common Questions & Finding Help

You can log into workday at www.myworkday.com/lsu

If you are having issues access your Workday account, or logging into Workday, please contact the ITS Service Desk to request a service or chat with a representative. 

We recommend utilizing the step-by-step reference guides found on this page. We encourage all teaching faculty to utilize their Teaching Dashboard, which can be found in your apps in Workday. For a refresher on finding and utilizing apps, visit the Getting Started - Workday Basics resources found on this page. 

If the answer you are looking for is not contained in a guide, we encourage you to reach out to the main advising office in your associated College as these units have undergone additional training related to system functionality and should be able to support you. 

If these avenues do not produce the information you need, you should submit an ITS Service Desk service request to escalate the inquiry to the project team.  

What each individual can see and do in Workday is dependent upon the security role you have been assigned in the system. Security role and access requests may be submitted via a Workday Security ticket, which will route to the appropriate offices for approval. If you are granted this access, you will receive communication notifying you of the change.
