Navigate Workday as a Third Party User to Access Student Records and Finances
Description
This guide helps friends and family (third party users) authorized by the student view the student’s academic, financial aid, and student financial account information in Workday. The student chooses which records a third party can view. Visit Friends and Family FAQs for additional information.
Prerequisite: Students must grant access to their Third Party Users and manage their permissions. Once the permission is granted, the Third Party User will receive two separate emails, one with the username and one with the password. Visit Assign or Remove Third Party Access for instructions.
