I like how easy it is to enter information about students so that I can quickly and efficiently create profiles with student ID numbers for them. The different menus are very easy to navigate.

"Very Lingo Driven, But Solid Software"
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

Once you get the hang of it, the system is consistent and I have yet to encounter any bugs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

Everything is very much dependent on knowing the codes you have configured. Instead of having easy drop down menus, you need to write in the exact 4 digit codes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fairly User Friendly"
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

It has all the records I need in one program. It would be nice if we could look up a student and get all of their information on one screen, which this program can not do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Product!"
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

Fordham uses Ellucian to run their degree works accounts which helps students track their credits and progress towards graduation. Every student is automatically issued an account and it is so helpful to see what classes still need to be taken and what requirements have already been filled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

It is slightly difficult to figure out how to use the "what if" feature to determine what classes one would need to take to graduate with certain majors and minors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Banner Use for Creating New Account Codes and Budgeting"
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

I use Banner mostly for creating new account codes and also for reviewing the department budget. I appreciate being able to create new accounts quickly because it allows for our business functions to continue moving forward smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

I dislike the fact that there seems to often be tweaks to the Banner screen layouts that really don't seem to be beneficial on the user end. It just really prolongs the process of trying to get things accomplished in Banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Big Solution for Big Organizations"
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

It's usually fast to load screens and easy to use once you memorize some steps and navigation paths. It's great that it can communication with other software to link data from another program to profiles on Colleague, even though it's unfortunate that this only works when using certain (outdated) browsers such as Internet Explorer and not ones like Chrome or Firefox. I like that you can personalize the colour of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

Complicated navigation; requires memory to find pages or if you have never used a page before, you need to know exactly what acronym to search for. Would be better if it didn't lock out users if someone else is in the file, but I understand the rational for that. It's annoying that the "update" box pops up every time you save out. Should be able to communicate with external programs when using more browsers and not just Internet Explorer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
