Gull Parent & Family Resource Page
The Gull Parent & Family Resource page serves as a central hub for information, providing program details, parent and family resources, and helpful tips. This page is updated frequently to keep families informed about campus happenings and important announcements.
Workday Student: Accessing Student Information
Workday Student is officially live, offering you easier access to your student’s grades, tuition balances, class schedules, and more, all in one place! Log in to Workday Friends and Family with your full issued username (example: WDGenerated_jsmith123). Workday replaces Parent Portal. To get started, your student must assign you as a Friends & Family contact and grant "third party permissions" for you to view their account. Endicott cannot grant the permissions on behalf of your Student. If you wish to make payments on your student’s behalf, you will additionally need to be added as an authorized user in Nelnet. If you encounter issues setting up a Friends & Family account, please submit a support ticket via Freshservice. A member of our team will reach out to schedule a phone call or 1:1 meeting.
