Workday for Students and Families
Miami University is in the process of transitioning to Workday Student. This change will impact how students and families engage in processes surrounding admissions, billing/payment, financial aid, registration, academic/personal records, and advising.
Who is Impacted?
Two main groups will be impacted by Miami’s transition to Workday Student:
- Prospective students applying for admission for the 2026-27 academic year
- Current students continuing at Miami for the 2026-27 academic year
Current students will continue to use Banner Self Service through the 2025-26 academic year. The first time they will interact with Workday is when they register for 2026 Fall Semester Classes in April 2026 (unless they hold an on-campus job).
Prospective students will use Workday as part of their admissions process, including when applying for financial aid.
