Case Study: Loyola Marymount University cuts NCAA certification time by more than half with Argos from Evisions

Turning manual NCAA certification into a data-driven workflow with Argos

Loyola Marymount University, a private university, faced a challenge with its manual NCAA student athlete certification process. The Office of the Registrar needed to perform detailed Progress Toward Degree (PTD) calculations for dozens of athletes, a time-intensive task that took 30-60 minutes per student and created deadline pressure. To address this, they partnered with vendor Evisions and its Professional Services team to implement a solution using their existing Argos reporting platform.

Evisions built a tailored Argos reporting solution that automated data refreshes and provided pre-validated reports as a starting point for calculations. This reduced the manual effort per PTD calculation by an estimated 50-65%, bringing the time down to 10-25 minutes. The results included the two fastest certification cycles ever completed, delivered proactively to Athletics with significant lead time instead of under urgency.
