Case Study: PennWest University unifies student systems and boosts engagement with Ellucian Experience

Pennsylvania Western University Combines Several Schools' Systems into One with Ellucian and Leaps Ahead

PennWest University, formed from the consolidation of three separate campuses, faced the challenge of merging disparate systems into one cohesive experience for its students and staff. To accomplish this, the university partnered with the vendor Ellucian to implement the Ellucian Experience platform as a unified student portal.

By using Ellucian Experience as a central hub, PennWest provided a student-centric portal with tailored announcements and integrated services like registration and parking permits. The solution achieved significant results, including 1.2 million card interactions in a single semester and approximately 12,000 monthly active users, leading to better efficiency for students and more free time for staff.
