UVA Account & Workday

Learn about activating your UVA technology access and starting your onboarding tasks in Workday including the I-9.

  • Activate Your Account

    New Hires: Read the “Account Claim” email you received from identity.virginia.edu before your start date.

    Follow the Account Activation Guide to create a UVA password and set up a device for 2-Step Login (Duo). You will use these login credentials to log in to Workday and other UVA systems in the future.

    TIP: If you haven't already, add a secondary device to 2-Step Login Duo as a backup authentication method.

    Do you have a prior affiliation with UVA? As a former or current employee, student, applicant, contractor/vendor, etc., you have already activated your account and will not receive an email.

    If you are unable to get your UVA password, computing ID, or set up a device for Duo, contact the UVA Help Desk at 434.924.4357 for assistance.

    School of Medicine New Hires:

    If your department uses Academic accounts, use your computing ID and password to login to your computer. For School of Medicine employees in departments who use UVA Health computers, your account may need to be requested here before logging in. Check in with your manager, department administrator, or manager designee.

  • Changing Your Preferred Name

    UVA Health team members can set up a preferred name to display in many UVA systems. Your legal name is separate from your preferred name and can only be updated by providing documentation. If you're a student, contact the Office of the University Registrar (UREG). If you are faculty or staff, update it in Workday by selecting Personal Information then Legal Name.

    Your preferred name is one that you can update directly in the Identity & Access Management Portal and displays in most UVA systems.

  • Workday Onboarding

    UVA uses Workday® as its Human Resources technology system to manage most HR activities. As part of the onboarding process, you are required to log into Workday to complete certain tasks and review important information.

    • Access Workday from any web browser.
    • Log in using your UVA computing ID and password.
    • Follow the instructions and complete tasks in your Workday inbox. Please note: Onboarding tasks will come in stages to your Workday inbox. New tasks will arrive after you complete the earlier tasks.

    USCIS Form I-9 | Employment Verification
     

    The Form I-9 is your second onboarding task in your Workday inbox. Federal law requires that you complete your I-9 by your third day of employment. If you do not complete your I-9 within provided deadlines, federal regulations require UVA to terminate your employment until you are in compliance.

    Completion of the I-9 process will take three steps:

    • Complete I-9 Form Section 1 in your Workday inbox and submit the task no later than your first day of work. (If you are in the process of obtaining a US SSN, please submit section 1 and once you have received your SSN then contact HR and upload a picture of the SS card into your Worker Documents in Workday).
    • Take or scan a picture of your List A or List B AND List C documents and upload them into the Worker Documents section in Workday using the instructions provided.  The upload step should be completed using a computer and not the Mobile app.  Acceptable documents are listed on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website. Please be prepared to upload all work authorization documentation based on your citizenship status. 
    • **IMPORTANT - IN-PERSON PRESENTATION OF DOCUMENTS, the Department of Homeland Security also requires visual inspection of these same documents within 3 days of your start date.

    • Federal regulations require that you also physically present your I-9 document(s) in person to Human Resources. Bring  acceptable documents (not copies) with you to in-person orientation on your first day. Representatives will be available to view your I-9 acceptable documents between 7:00 – 8:00 a.m. that day. You can provide either List A or List B AND List C documents. Acceptable documents are listed on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration website.

    If you are unable to process your I-9 in person at Orientation, you may also process them at the Human Resources office:

    • Up to 3 business days before your start date (if you are local) so, as early as the Wednesday before your hire date.
    • Up to 3 business days after your start date, so as late as the Thursday after your start date.

    UVA University Medical Center travelers, temps, School of Medicine, and UPG new hires should follow in their instructions in their Onboarding Guide.

    Completing Workday Onboarding

    After section 2 of the I-9 is completed in Workday, additional onboarding tasks will appear in your Workday inbox. These will include steps to enter your payment elections (direct deposit information), tax forms, personal information, and more.

    Detailed job aids for using Workday will help you complete all of the required steps (NetBadge Login required).                 

ID Badges and Parking & Transportation

  • ID Badges for UVA Health

    Charlottesville Area

    UVA Health team members are required to wear identification badges. You will use your ID badge to clock in/out, if required, and to access various buildings and doors. You must obtain your ID badge during your first week of work, and before your first independent shift, so plan accordingly as your schedule allows. Please do not go to the ID Badge Office during any other in-person training, or during breaks in these trainings. For instance, if you have training scheduled for all day on Tuesday and Wednesday, you will need to go on Monday.

    Go to the ID Badge office to complete this process. You will need your 9-digit employee number (displayed to the right of your name on the Workday home page) and a photo ID (i.e., driver's license).The ID Badge Office is located in the West Complex. Hours of operation are 8:30 am to 4:15 pm Monday-Friday, and they close promptly. Please allow ample time to complete this task; you should expect to wait in line.

    The UVA Health ID Badge Office is on the 1st floor, Room M1205 of the West Complex.

    Outside of Charlottesville
    Once you have activated your account with UVA, you may follow the remote process to upload  your ID badge photo. Please note that it takes 24-48 hours for photo upload to be available for printing on the ID badge.

  • Parking & Transportation

    As a new team member, we want to ensure you have the information you need about the parking options available at UVA Health.
