Viewing Academic History in Workday Student

The Academic History report in Workday is an internal record of a student’s courses, grades and academic statistics by term. Though similar, the Academic History report is not a transcript. Instructions for accessing the Academic History report are available. Below is a brief description of the information available in the Workday Academic History report:

• Courses taken for academic credit (including cross-registered courses and transfer credit)

• Courses that do not carry academic credit including:

  • Courses taken through Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics (PERA) that may or may not count toward the Physical Education degree requirement

  • Music Lessons (MUS 099 - Performing Music)

  • Non-academic summer internship and research experience (recorded as RES 001, INT 001)

  • In Workday, Winter courses are included in the Fall semester statistics and

  • Summer Session I and Summer Session II courses are included in the Summer semester statistics

  • Cumulative totals includes Wellesley and MIT courses only

  • Specialized totals include all courses and transfer credit

• Enrollment standing by term which appears as ‘Load Status’; A student registered for 3 or more units in a fall or spring term is ‘Full-time’. 

• Class Standing by term (new in Workday). Class Standing is calculated based on a student’s cumulative units earned as of the start of the term. This information is used by Student Financial Services when determining Federal financial aid eligibility.

Class Standing minimum cumulative earned units (including transfer credit):

23.0 units = Senior class standing

15.0 units = Junior class standing

7.0 units = Sophomore class standing
