SAN ANTONIO and RESTON, Va., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellucian, the leading higher education technology solutions provider, today announced the release of Ellucian Apply, a cutting-edge admissions application redefining the application and enrollment experience. Built on the Ellucian SaaS Platform, Ellucian Apply seamlessly integrates with an institution's Student Information System (SIS) to modernize admissions processes.

Ellucian Apply saves precious staff time by streamlining admissions data collection and validation to ensure the accuracy of enrollment information. Apply's user-friendly process reduces application configuration and processing time and streamlines the applicant experience. Additionally, the solution's advanced fraud detection system addresses security challenges faced by higher education institutions globally by proactively identifying potentially fraudulent applications.

"Designed with input from students, staff, and the higher education community, Apply serves as a vital tool for institutions striving to boost enrollment while simplifying the experience for applicants and staff."

Ellucian Apply offers a seamless experience for prospective students and features secure, password-free multi-factor authentication that expedites the application process while maintaining strong security standards. Apply's language detection and configuration capabilities also support institutions as they work to build broader applicant pools. Furthermore, the solution provides customizable templates for administrators and staff to facilitate personalized applications tailored to specific student needs.
