Introducing the Teaching Dashboard
You now have a Teaching Dashboard for teaching-related resources, accessible by clicking the Teaching CCA icon from your Workday home page (under Applications).
Workday does not have a built-in function for you to email your students. However, you can generate a list of registered students' emails for any of your classes, which can easily be copied and pasted into an email message. You can find further instructions below.
Use the guides linked in the sidebar for detailed instructions on your primary tools and tasks, including course section updates, schedule/roster access, and submitting grades.

Printable Class Rosters
Most class roster reports in Workday are not optimized for printing, but you can access a print-friendly class roster from the My Students by Course - Current and Upcoming worklet on your Teaching Dashboard.
1a. Click the donut chart "slice" that corresponds to the desired class, then click View Details.
- Note that co-located courses are listed separately in Workday, including distinct enrollments/roster views.
- For a consolidated view of rosters for all of your scheduled course sections, use the Student Rosters for Current/Upcoming/Past Courses.
- If you teach a course with multiple components, such as a lecture and a lab, students in your lab section will appear in both the lab and lecture rosters.
1b. Alternatively, click on the blue number in the Enrollments column corresponding to the class you wish to view.
2. View real-time roster information in the resulting popup, or use the printer or Excel icons at the top right of the table to export a printable pdf or a spreadsheet of the roster, respectively.
