245 Ellucian Testimonials

"What Ellucian provides are foundational SaaS-enabled tools that support every single office on a campus."

"Colleague was just better for us. It can grow to fit our needs."

"If I could give any other institution advice about Banner 9, it would be this: Don’t put off implementation. It serves your students well."

"Now we’re able to actually focus on recruiting—calling students, following up, Sometimes you need to be in contact with a student five to seven times to get them to your institution. Now that’s being done automatically with email in addition to our phone calls.”

“Before CRM Recruit, an admissions representative, “it was really hard. We were doing every single application and every process manually, so 60–70% of our time was just processing applications.”

"Tec21 is revolutionary in the sense that we have included in our curricula a level of flexibility that has never been seen before. A student who joins our institution can change their career path in the second semester or third semester. In order to do that, you need technology to handle all this complexity."

"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."

"We knew that whatever student recruitment system we had, it had to be configurable, and we wanted to be able to do that ourselves. We wanted it to be a distributed system with flexibility of reporting. Fundamentally there weren’t that many vendors out there that could say they could do all these things, and Ellucian was the one that ticked the boxes."

"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 integration between Colleague and Elevate was our number one priority. That’s why we selected Elevate."
