Case Study: Northern Illinois University improves SEVIS compliance and saves time with Terra Dotta

Northern Illinois University saves 33% more time with Terra Dotta

Northern Illinois University (NIU) faced challenges with its SEVIS data processing, including recurring duplicate records and an inability to efficiently meet urgent compliance demands. These issues created significant manual workload and risk for its international student office. To address this, NIU partnered with vendor Terra Dotta and implemented its SEVIS Coordinator as a Service product.

Using Terra Dotta's service, NIU automated its data processing to prevent duplicate records and quickly identify critical gaps. The solution proved vital when the university rapidly responded to a Request for Evidence by pulling required CPT data in moments, a task that would have previously taken days. Terra Dotta's service helped accurately process over 580 student profiles and saved the staff 33% more time by eliminating manual processing.
