CULearn Transition to Workday Learning

As of November 2024, CULearn trainings are transitioning to Workday Learning. Your patience is appreciated as we get up and running in the new system.


Workday Learning is a learning management system for a variety of non-credit training across campus.

Courses include training provided by several departments including the Cornell NanoScale Facility. CNF Users can take web-based online courses.

Existing Cornell faculty, staff, and student users may need to follow the Learning announcement on their Workday homepage to activate their Extended Enterprise Learning account. And there should be a "Learning" link under the Workday menu.

All other users, make sure you have properly activated your Workday Learning account per the instructions received from the Workday Learning team. If you continue to encounter issues with access, please send an email directly to the Workday Learning team describing the problem and with a full browser page screenshot for troubleshooting purposes.
