Cutover
In preparation for our campus transition to Workday in January 2025, we are providing key details about the process of moving from Banner to Workday and how it will impact various operations across campus.
The cutover period is when we will begin transferring our Human Resource and Finance business processes from Banner to Workday. To ensure a smooth transition for "go-live" on January 1, 2025, there will be several dates in the fall when certain kinds of activities or transactions will begin to be limited or suspended. This will help ensure we have accurate data to move to the new system and will minimize the errors that could occur if transactions are entered into Banner after we begin moving information to Workday.
Cutover activities include:
- System cutovers: turning one system off in order to turn another system on
- Process changes: interim procedures and catch-up tracking that allow business to continue during the cutover period

General Cutover Questions
-
What is cutover?
Cutover is the period when all of the information in Banner is transferred into Workday to prepare for the launch of Workday in January 2025. Once cutover begins, any transactions in Banner will not be automatically transferred to Workday, and therefore will need to be fully documented and then manually replicated in Workday in January 2025. In order to limit the amount of data entry required in January, and to reduce the risk of error, certain Human Resources Banner transactions are being limited or paused during the cutover period.

When is our Workday Cutover period?
The cutover period begins in October 2024 and will end with the successful launch of Workday in January 2025.
