Case Study: Northern Illinois University streamlines SEVIS compliance 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 missed students, duplicate records, and an inability to quickly respond to a time-sensitive government Request for Evidence. To address these recurring compliance issues and manual workload, the university turned to Terra Dotta and its SEVIS Coordinator as a Service product.

By implementing Terra Dotta's service, NIU automated its data processing, which identified critical gaps and prevented duplicate records. The solution enabled the team to instantly pull the required data to meet the urgent RFE, a task that would have otherwise taken days. This resulted in over 580 student profiles being accurately processed and saved staff 33% more time, allowing them to focus on student support and strategic goals.
