Please note:
The Workday mobile app is not currently supported at the UW.
You can access Workday using the latest versions of the following web browsers.
| Web Browser | Supported on Desktops/Laptops? | Supported on Mobile Devices?* |

* When accessing Workday from a mobile device, please note that a “Yes” in the Supported on Mobile Devices? column above indicates the web browser can be used on a mobile device to access Workday. However, the ISC does not recommend accessing or transacting in Workday from a mobile web browser, as the end user experience is not optimal.
**Microsoft Edge Legacy, as well as running Edge in IE Mode, are not supported.
Only the latest version of IE 11 is supported; prior versions of IE are not supported.
IE 11 is not supported when running in Compatibility Mode, Enterprise Mode or Embedded Mode.

- Click the Sites button.
- In the window that opens, type https://wd5.myworkday.com and click Add.
