Account Creation Process for New Faculty
The steps below outline how your account will be created by Dallas College Human Resources (HR) and Information Technology (IT):
-
Workday creates a seven-digit employee ID number and username
-
IT automated processes locate the new account
-
IT automated processes create the new hire's email address
- If the account is setup correctly and includes an external email address, the new hire receives email with instructions to change their password and continue any onboarding steps in Workday
-
New hire completes all paperwork via Workday
For your next steps after you receive your email address and password from IT, see the
Account Setup Checklist for Faculty.
New Hire Paperwork
When you receive your employment offer from HR, you will also receive instructions on how to accept the offer and complete new hire paperwork. Please complete your paperwork as soon as possible to allow for HR to prepare for your onboarding and for IT to create your employee user accounts before your first day of employment.
Note: After you accept your offer, you will be contacted by a member of the Human Resources Employee Experience Center. This team member will be your primary point of contact and will be responsible for ensuring all your required onboarding documents are completed prior to your first day of employment. If you have questions before you are contacted by the Employee Experience Center, please contact Human Resources at 972-860-5119 or AskHR@DallasCollege.edu.
