"Course copy is very manual, it was high-difficulty, and it's not done frequently by faculty. Therefore, there was a pretty high error rate."
"I now have real-time data showing me how many students are currently enrolled in a particular course, semester, year, or location and can make better management decisions on the fly. I’ve designed a report that works perfectly for my needs, and I can run it any time at the touch of a button."
“All the colleges now use the same catalog, same naming conventions, and same data standards. That way, we’re truly comparing headcount in service programs at every institution on a one-to-one basis, as opposed to doing it 25 different ways.”
“Twice a semester we would do a mass mailing informing students about their payments and balances. There was a lot of back-and-forth emailing in between departments. Imagine how much manual work that required. With Banner, it is done automatically and all information—including all charges and payments—is being updated in Banner. As a result, students can pay online or make the bank transfer and can see their updated account balances any time through Banner self-service.”
“Now we don’t have to spread Excel sheets around and have long lines of students looking for an answer about their programmes of study. Every student can now go into the system to see and analyse his or her degree evaluation and get a clear view where they stand and which courses they need to take.”
“I know that it was very time consuming for our colleagues from the Registrar’s Office to manually enter the records to their system. Now all we need to do is to change the admission decision in Banner. An integrated system across all university functions greatly improves efficiency.”
"The primary advantage is that students can easily initiate a request to send their transcripts to a potential employer, university school admissions office or other recipients with an email address anywhere in the world the same day the order is placed."
"The integration between Colleague and Elevate was our number one priority. That’s why we selected Elevate."
“All in all, the new system has run smoothly and the migration has been very successful. The consultancy we’ve received from Ellucian has been invaluable.”
"The integration between Ellucian Colleague®, the Ellucian Intelligent Learning Platform, and Moodle is phenomenal. We’ve cut the time spent on course administration by 25 percent. For us, that means one faculty member can teach an additional course each term. Choosing Ellucian Intelligent Learning Platform is the best decision we ever made."
"No one knew how to integrate with our Student Information System better than Ellucian."
"The bi-directional feed between Ellucian CRM Recruit and Banner works well with verifications and distributions. No other CRMs did this they all did it with batching, and we initially looked at 25 of them."
"There’s a future with Ellucian. You’re focusing on big picture things that can revolutionize the way technology is used on campus."
"Degree Works lets me be more independent instead of me being dependent on my advisor. It lets me choose my classes instead of letting someone else help me, making me be more responsible."
"I am an advocate for Degree Works. If a school wants to implement the concept of pathways, it’s almost a no-brainer."
