Case Study: Vernon College boosts student success and efficiency with Ellucian Colleague SaaS

Vernon College Transforms with Colleague SaaS

Vernon College, a two-year public institution in Texas, needed to modernize its aging on-premises student information system. The legacy SIS created data silos, required staff to manage multiple systems, and forced manual student roster uploads just before classes began. Vernon College chose Ellucian and its Colleague SaaS platform to replace the outdated system.

With Ellucian Colleague SaaS, Vernon College unified student data, automated course assignments and registration workflows, and improved access through a single sign-on, user-friendly interface. Ellucian’s support helped the college complete implementation in 12 months, and the new system improved collaboration and back-office efficiency while boosting student outcomes, including a nearly 10% year-over-year increase in completed FAFSA applications.
