Initial sharing of this communication began in February, however, it will remain applicable through June.
The Internet Explorer (IE) web browser will be retired by Microsoft on June 15. Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (Mac) are unaffected.
While there is no mandated action required for users in the university community as part of this change, there are some things to check as the IE June retirement date draws near.
As part of Microsoft’s complete phase out of the Internet Explorer (IE) browser, they will also stop providing IE updates and patches within the next several weeks.
As a result, Buckeye Buy’s marketplace provider, GHX, will cease its support of the IE browser as of November 15, 2021. Any use of IE after this time to access GHX functionality may result in errors and performance issues with Buckeye Buy catalogs.
Going forward, you must use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Apple Safari when accessing Workday to initiate a purchase, to ensure Buckeye Buy functionality remains fully operational.
