Case Study: Peralta Community College District streamlines international student processing with Terra Dotta

Peralta Community College District opens a second international education office with Terra Dotta after going paperless in one semester

Peralta Community College District, serving over 30,000 students across four campuses, faced significant inefficiencies in managing its international student population. Their previous system relied on paper applications and manual data entry, which was time-consuming, prone to errors, and made tracking student progress difficult. To overcome these challenges, the district implemented Terra Dotta's International Student & Scholar Services solution.

With Terra Dotta, Peralta digitized its entire process, eliminating paper and enabling efficient batch processing of SEVIS records. The solution provided cleaner data, faster access to information, and seamless filtering and communication tools. This allowed the international education staff to save time, open a second office, and better serve their students. The platform's value was further proven during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling Peralta to quickly track and inform its international student body remotely. Terra Dotta provided a complete and reasonable package that streamlined operations and allowed the team to focus on student engagement.
