Case Study: Elgin Community College advances a student-ready global experience with Terra Dotta

Elgin Community College streamlines 300+ programs and 200+ scholarships with Terra Dotta

Elgin Community College faced a challenge in managing its growing global engagement programs with an outdated and highly manual study abroad platform. This older system could not efficiently support the college's ambitions to launch new faculty-led programs, requiring a more robust solution from its vendor, Terra Dotta, to streamline operations and improve the student experience.

Terra Dotta worked with the college to modernize its system, focusing on backend efficiency with deployment rules and a redesigned public-facing site using Site Builder. The solution automated empathetic student communications and provided a centralized system for managing both study abroad and international student services. The results for Elgin Community College included a more consistent, student-ready application process, a significant reduction in manual program-building hours, and a digital interface that drove higher student engagement and awareness.
