Overall Satisfaction with Colleague Student

Colleague is used as a resource/archive system information. Users of Colleague at my company are able to pull student records such as addresses, class schedule, phone numbers, and other pieces of vital information. Colleague addresses the problem of record keeping at my institution; being able to store information for a large population enables better utilization of space since paper records do not need to be kept.
  • Colleague is able to provide a large database which can hold a large amount of information for companies who may need to store student, client and/or patient data.
  • Utilization can be easy once trained on how to use it.
  • The user interface is engaging and captivating especially since the update. It makes utilization easier.
  • Colleague only seems to work when logged in on a specific browser.
  • Using Colleague can be confusing to navigate unless trained on how to use it.
  • The user interface can be intimidating and confusing to use.
  • Easy system to use to ensure emergency contact information is archived for current students and alumni.
  • Enables professional staff members to get in contact with students of concern helping to eliminate potentially harmful situations.
  • Colleague Student has helped the university bring in revenue through the ability to charge students for fees that they may incur.
Colleague Student is a lifesaver in situations where I need to get in contact with students in situations of high importance. I can figure out when they will be in their class which makes it easier to have the professor connect with a student of concern or I can look up a phone number to give the student a call. Colleague also helps in the housing department to charge students for any damage fees resident may incur while staying in the residence halls.
