Workday

Columbus State is in the process of upgrading from our current student information system (Self-Service/CougarWeb) to a new system: Workday. In Workday, students will register for courses, manage financial aid, update contact information, and so much more — all in a one-stop shop.

With Workday Student comes opportunities to reimagine the student experience at Columbus State.
