The bootcamp is designed for new users getting started with the Platform, existing users looking to deepen their understanding, and institutions training additional staff members. Each session focuses on hands-on learning with guided instruction to help you develop practical skills you can apply immediately at your institution. This training is complimentary and included in your Ellucian Workflow subscription.
Bootcamp Schedule
We ran 3 concurrent cohorts from January through March 2026 and plan to repeat the beginner series and add an advanced bootcamp in fall 2026.
