Why integrate with your student information system?

Integrating your Student Information System (SIS) with uConnect unlocks a powerful suite of marketing tools designed to proactively engage students. These tools drive meaningful engagement with your platform and the full range of career resources available on it — but they require student contact information to be loaded into the system first.

What information do we recommend including?

We require very basic data, just name and email. That being said, we recommend you bring in much more than that, so that you know more about each student, and can tailor your communications to them based on those known interests. Recommended attributes include:

• Graduation year
• Major
• Career / industry interest
• Affinity group

Having this information on hand allows administrators on your team to target specific user groups or class years, send automated email alerts with personalized content to each student, or send bulk emails to your entire student body with just a few clicks. 

Keeping your student data accurate requires regular updates. Previously, this meant manually submitting a spreadsheet of student contact information through our secure intake form. We have since developed a native SIS integration to streamline and fully automate this process. 

Our SIS integration pulls in updated student information on a daily or weekly basis, that way - no matter how many students change their major, transfer in, or graduate, you have the most up to date information with which to reach them.

Note: If you are unsure which student information systems are supported or need help configuring your integration, contact your uConnect Customer Success Manager. Ready to get started? See our step-by-step SIS Integration Instructions for full setup details.
