Accessing Workday

VPN is not required to access Workday from off campus.

Logging in to Workday

1. Go to workday.swarthmore.edu.
2. Enter your full Swarthmore email address and click “Next”.
3. Enter your Swarthmore password and click “Next”.
4. Authenticate with DUO. If you have already done so on your device recently, the system may skip this step.
5. You may be asked if you want the system to remember your browser or device. Only do so if the device you are using is yours or assigned to you. If other people use the same device, do not have the system remember it.
6. You should now be logged in!

As a note: If you see a step to add an authentication method to Microsoft Authenticator, you should see the option to skip it. If you cannot skip or are having trouble, please contact our Help Desk through support.swarthmore.edu.
