Workday issues disrupt registration

When current and rising sophomores logged onto Workday for the third round of course registration at 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning, many were unable to immediately register. According to an email sent from Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Michael Cato to students and faculty Wednesday morning, this “slowdown” lasted about ten minutes due to increased user activity when registration opened. Cato wrote that Information Technology (IT) immediately notified Workday of the issue, who made performance adjustments to prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future. Gus O’Neil-Dunne ’29 described how the website froze when registration opened, began showing server errors and then logged students out, sending some to the parent login rather than the student one. While some students had success registering on their phones, Workday Mobile crashed for others.
