245 Ellucian Testimonials

"We are not just doing Banner SaaS; we are doing Degree Works, we are going to Smart Plan, and we also have CRM Advise coming in as well."

"One of our top priorities is to always try to offer our students a chance to succeed on a daily basis."

“It makes a big difference, having a great partner like Ellucian that you feel comfortable with, and that you have a good relationship with. We know that when we need them, they are there to step in anytime. I am a real fan of this partnership.”

"It is great to see how the system is allowing staff and faculty to work together to help students. People are coming together and providing student assistance more proactively."

"Using Ethos has eliminated the need for using the antiquated 'paper-and-pen' approach when it comes to student evaluations and choosing to opt out of the textbook rental program, as that's how it had been done prior to adopting Ethos. The opt-out form] was created to make the student experience easier and I think it accomplished that."

"Administrative staff appreciates that the Ethos connection allows our student course evaluation software, SmartEvals, to be virtually hands-off. The Ethos upload automatically keeps the rosters, sections, and faculty information up-to-date. All that's left is for the system to send out the evaluations to the correct students on the preset days."

"When we have third-party vendors that have worked with Ethos, they can say 'Oh yeah, we're confident that it works; it's just plug-and-play from here on out,' that's been nice."

"Personalization through Raise Me means recruitment counselors are more informed when they engage with students."

"The outbreak of the coronavirus and subsequent shut down of the campus would previously have meant learning would have ground to a halt. With the Banner system, we were ready. We had the software, infrastructure and technology to continue to deliver learning remotely."

"We had a successful implementation, and it really came down to the teamwork and effort of both Ellucian and the University of Idaho."

"We allow students to reserve rooms directly from MyUI in the library card. So we pull in that form, they can fill it out, show the availability of the room and when they can reserve it and for how long."

"The big thing, which Jason has mentioned, is that with [our older portal], all you get is links and there's no real digestible information directly on the page. MyUI fixes that and allows them to quickly see when deadlines are coming, when their homework is due; they don't have to log into Canvas to see when their homework is due then log into another portal to see when their classes are coming up. It's all on one page and I really think that's going to help students moving forward not miss assignments, not miss deadlines for graduation, things like that."

"The students like the self-service features. They like being able to look at things and move things around on their plan. They like that they have access to it at all times, and they like how they can control it."

"It’s absolutely the best thing about this system, that prospects can inquire in one place, they can apply in one place, they can register for an event in one place, they can check their missing supplemental items for their application in one place."

“We were running our campus tours and events through a separate system, and now we’re running all of our events through [Ellucian CRM] Recruit. That allows us to better track a student.”
