Student Employee Account - Creation and Activation

Student employee account creation does not need to be requested as it takes place as part of an automated process.

Student employee accounts will be created or enabled automatically 1-2 business days after their entry into Workday. The supervisor will receive an email from Workday titled “A Task Awaits You: Onboarding Setup”. The supervisor needs to enter Workday and complete that task. After doing so, it will be 1-2 business days after that when their account is created or activated. As a supervisor, you can confirm account creation by typing their staff.netID email address into an email message and seeing if they pop up, that means they are in the global address list and their account is active. Student employees who have never been hired by UW Oshkosh before will receive an email to their student email address with their account username and credentials.

Additional access can only be provided to this account after it is created. Please wait to submit access requests until after you have confirmed account creation.

If it has been 1-2 business days since receipt of the “A Task Awaits You” email and you do not see their staff.netID account pop up when you draft an email, please submit a service request with IT so we can see if there are any issues with the creation of their account.
