“ideal upgrade for campus”
Pros
Ellucian Colleague Student has completely transformed how we operate as an institution. It replaced outdated processes with a much faster, more modern way of working and the difference has been huge for us.
Cons
The biggest challenge was the implementation especially the train the trainer approach. For a smaller institution like ours with limited resources, that model just wasn't very practical.

“Easy to use dashboard”
Pros
Using it feels very simple. The dashboard is easy to move through and tasks are quick to carry out. It works really well as a student database management system. Entering grades is convenient and it can be customized to match specific requirements. It also includes helpful tools like attendance tracking, class list approval, academic profiles and detailed scheduling so it's much easier to manage follow-up in one place. On top of that, the data feels secure.
