The security in Workday is very different and comprehensive as the security in our legacy systems.  Migrating to a new student information systems gave us the opportunity to revamp access and verify all users have the appropriate permissions to do their daily work.  During the project we created groups and assigned security to many users but it is very likely we will need to modify these groups and create new ones.  If you or your department access needs to be revised, please open a support ticket in our Workday help desk or email us at Workday@lynn.edu.  

Yes, Workday Student prioritizes data security and confidentiality to protect the privacy of student information. The system utilizes encryption, access controls, and other security measures to safeguard data against unauthorized access or breaches.
