Questions? We’re here for you! Email us anytime at orientation@endicott.edu with any questions.

Required Health Form

PLEASE NOTE: ALL STUDENTS enrolling for the Spring 2026 semester must complete this form by uploading it to Workday no later than January 5, 2026 .

Any student failing to complete the required health form will be prohibited from residing on campus or attending classes.

Please upload your completed Health Form to Workday (in the Medical and Immunization History action item) as part of your onboarding requirements.

Hardcopy forms will not be accepted.

Workday for Friends & Family

Workday offers you 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). Please work with your student to set up your new Workday Friends & Family account. Workday replaces Parent Portal. If you previously used Parent Portal to access your student’s information and make payments, please work with your student to set up your new Workday Friends & Family account.

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. Once permissions are granted, you’ll receive two auto-generated emails from Workday with your login credentials and activation instructions. If you wish to make payments on your student’s behalf, you will additionally need to be added as an authorized user in Nelnet.

An overview of Workday Friends & Family at Endicott College, including helpful guides and step-by-step instructions, can be found here.

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.
