North Carolina Central U Overhauls Administrative Platform
North Carolina
Central University (NCCU) in Durham, NC, will
overhaul its platform for student and faculty records, making more
information
accessible via both mobile and desktop devices.
The 8,200-plus-student university selected N2N Services to
design and implement the platforms that, the company said, will
integrate data
analytics, communications, enrollment management, student retention and
dropout
prevention programs.
The new technology for N2N will allow several
features not
currently available to faculty and students:
- The ability for
students to register for classes from their mobile devices;
- A way for students
to monitor their accounts and to pay bills online;
- Easy access to
schedules, integrated with digital content as well as assessment data
from
faculty;
- Providing faculty
with a secure way to take class attendance;
- Providing faculty
and advisors with early alerts to monitor student progress and provide
aid to
at-risk students;
- The capability to
make degree requirements accessible from both desktop and mobile devices;
- The ability to
access financial aid data and interact with the counseling staff; and
- The
capability to interact with different modules and features provided by
the student
information system, enrollment management system and learning management
systems.
"This will
position NCCU to leverage today's portfolio of educational technology
applications
to benefit current students and faculty," said N2N Services Vice
President of
Technology Joel Dunn.
