Minnesota State is in the process of creating a new technology landscape through its NextGen Project. The NextGen Project includes the implementation of Workday, a cloud-based system designed to meet the technology needs of organizations like Minnesota State colleges and universities. Workday Finance and Human Capital Management (HCM) went live in July 2024. Workday Student will be rolled out in phases, beginning in the fall of 2028 through the summer of 2029, with the full launch of Workday Student in the fall of 2029.
