Step 1: Workday Temporary Username and Password during Pre-Employee Phase
During the pre-employee phase(before your hire date) of the Lynn University hiring process, you would have received two separate automated emails from the Workday system to your personal email address that you provided to Employee Services.
- The first email would have contained:
- Your temporary Workday username
- A link to the Lynn University Workday website. https://wd5.myworkday.com/lynn/login.htmld
- The second email would have contained:
- Your temporary password
- After clicking on the Workday website link, there will be two options on the screen to log in. To log into Workday before your official hire date use the Native Workday Login button on the home page.
- Upon the first login, you would have been prompted to set a few challenge response questions
- These Workday challenge questions are temporary and are only used in the event that you forget your password during the pre-employment phase of the hiring process.
- Do not confuse these with your account setup password recovery questions that you set in Step 2: Complete Lynn account steps
You'll use the username and password combination and the Native Workday Login button on the home page to log into Workday and upload all the documents necessary for Employee Services to complete the hiring process.
VERY IMPORTANT ** You will continue to use this username and password combination and Native Workday Login option to login into Workday until 12:00 am on your hire datetemporary
