What We've Heard

"The moment that I was able to sort on sequence number, then have the ability to replace the sequence numbers and save in one transaction. It was as if a light shined over my monitor with a faint chorus in the background. I was thrilled to see that improvement". - Stephanie Boledovich, HR Systems Manager, Lansing Community College

"Employee Profile is a modern way of letting employees look at their data and do their job and they can take it anywhere because it is configured to work on any device - laptop, tablet and smartphone. Well done Ellucian! I love it. It is so easy to set up even a cave man can do it." - Ali Penton, Software Application Engineer, University of West Florida

"We went actually live with Registration for our early registration for the following summer classes and it proved flawless. t worked with no problems and every review we've had has been positive." - Delano Sweeney, Database Systems Manager, Bluefield State College
