Case Study: Old Dominion University streamlines international student and scholar management with Terra Dotta

Old Dominion University streamlines ISSS for 650 F-1 students with Terra Dotta

Old Dominion University, a large institution with a significant international student and scholar population, faced major challenges with its outdated, on-premise international student and scholar management system. Their previous software required multiple manual data entries, lacked features for tracking scholars, and provided poor customer support, leading to severe data integrity and compliance issues. This prompted the university to seek a new solution, turning to the vendor Terra Dotta and its ISSS cloud-based service.

By implementing Terra Dotta's adaptive, cloud-based ISSS solution, Old Dominion University streamlined its processes, eliminating manual data entry and slow nightly uploads. The solution provided critical remote access and the adaptability to handle rapid regulatory changes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the staff saved a significant amount of time, reduced the burden on their IT department, and gained full confidence in their data for compliance audits. Terra Dotta provided the modern, efficient platform the university needed.
