Case Study: Mercer County Community College achieves clearer degree progress and faster registration with Ellucian Colleague Student Planning (Ellucian)

With Ellucian Colleague® Student Planning, students play a larger role in degree planning

Mercer County Community College sought a better way for students to see and manage their path to a degree to address enrollment, retention, and student-experience challenges. To do that, Mercer County Community College implemented Ellucian Colleague Student Planning from vendor Ellucian.

Ellucian’s Colleague Student Planning gives students a real-time view of degree progress, self-service registration, and shared advising notes so they can switch majors and track remaining courses; registration that once required a roughly 30-minute in-person wait can now be completed online in minutes. The solution made registration faster and easier, freed advisors to build deeper connections, improved retention and on-time graduation, and helped at least one student complete their degree within a semester after using the tool — outcomes Mercer County Community College attributes to Ellucian.
