Case Study: Hinds Community College achieves operational success to focus on student success with Ellucian Professional Services

Student success hinges on operational success

Hinds Community College, a 2-year public institution serving 8,000–10,000 students, needed to improve operational effectiveness so staff could spend more time improving the student experience. To address slow progress on operations, Hinds engaged Ellucian and its Ellucian Professional Services to assess workflows and develop tailored improvements.

Ellucian delivered a custom Professional Services engagement—action planning, usage audits, and ongoing consultant support—leading to a clear rise in operational capacity within 12 months and freeing up time and energy to focus on student success. By providing direct consultant contacts and configuration guidance drawn from experience across many campuses, Ellucian helped Hinds achieve measurable operational gains and sustained institutional progress.
