Vernon College Selects New Student Management Platform

Vernon College has selected a new student management platform in an effort to streamline registration across five locations and automate routine tasks.

The 3,000-student school chose Unit4's Student Management, which features a user interface designed for mobile devices and built-in analytics.

"Unit4 Student Management will give our students, faculty and staff the ability to interact with the college in all aspects of the student life cycle to maximize student success," said Dusty R. Johnston, president of Vernon College, in a prepared statement. "It will bring together registration from our five campuses and centers, enable students to see what courses they need to complete their credits, automate routine tasks for staff and enable faculty to evaluate students' needs."

"We're already seeing great traction in the North American market as we're offering institutions a completely new user experience, but one that is more familiar and really adds value," said Jami Morshed, vice president of the global center of excellence for education at Unit4, inj a news release. "We're enabling them to upgrade the student experience with true mobile design, providing institutions with a solution that adapts simply to their business processes enabling agility with no system handcuffs. It also helps relieve the internal staffing challenges many face as they try to maintain dated student information systems. We've never seen such enthusiastic interest in a newly launched Unit4 solution as we have with Unit4 Student Management."
