TopSchool partners with Tiffin University's Ivy Bridge College to Better Manage Student Information and Communication

TopSchool's SLM Helps Rapidly Expanding College Meet Demands and Drive Retention

Ivy Bridge College of Tiffin University has partnered with TopSchool to leverage the company's next generation Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) system. The partnership enables the rapidly expanding online college to efficiently and effectively manage student records, communicate with students and generate reports.

"We've had an overwhelming number of students enroll in our new online programs, and it's imperative that we provide the best possible support to meet student demands and retain students through program completion," said Dr. Cam Cruickshank, managing director of Ivy Bridge.  "Not only did we need a student management system that could get us off the ground quickly, but we also needed one that was easy to use and flexible given our limited IT resources.  TopSchool's solution and SaaS model fit the bill perfectly.  The management, communication and reporting capabilities help us drive retention and deliver the kind of educational experience our students expect."

Through TopSchool's SLM, Ivy Bridge can leverage student information in a way that goes beyond the capabilities of a traditional SIS.  Staff can efficiently track prospect and student data, as well as report on outcomes to monitor organizational performance and make improvements.  Additionally, the college's Success Coaches can easily communicate with and provide guidance to students through the system's CRM.

"Ivy Bridge is forward thinking in addressing the needs of a traditionally underserved population, and has recognized the importance of supporting these students throughout the entire educational process," said Matthew Schnittman, president and CEO of TopSchool.  "The implementation of the TopSchool solution will allow their staff to focus on student achievement instead of cumbersome administrative processes."

Ivy Bridge College is a part of Ohio's Tiffin University.  The college's students earn a highly respected Tiffin University degree, which is authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents, and accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Commission (NCA) and by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). The college's online programs include: Associate of Arts in General Studies; Associate of Business Administration degrees in Accounting, Business and Computer & IT; and Associate of Criminal Justice in Law Enforcement.
