Light University Online Launching its New Student Information System
Light University Online of Virginia (www.lightuniversity.com) is set to launch its new, state-of-the-art student information system on October 1st. Working with partner Waterford Technologies Inc. (www.waterfordtech.com), our in-house development team helped design a new Light University Online that will feature such benefits as simple navigation, a graphically pleasing interface, and easy to use course registration modules…just to name a few!
Shaun Redgate, Vice President for Enrollment Management, says this new student information system was necessary because of the growth of the university and the need to provide a more customized solution to better serve its students. “I’m thrilled to see the end result of months of hard work and development. And better yet, I know our students’ will appreciate the user-friendly features as they register for courses, check their academic progress, and interact with the university support staff.”
Steve Horton, President of Waterford Technologies says it was time for a change. “This time through we’ve designed a solution that meets the unique needs of Light University Online. By taking advantage of the latest technologies we ensured that the system can grow to meet the demands of their growing university AND offer the best experience to their students.”
Light University Online, a distinctively Christian institution, offers world-renowned faculty, a robust and interactive online learning experience, proactive student support, and a relevant curriculum to help ensure students’ success. Students enjoy interacting with peers around the world, flexibility in time and place of study, achievable five-week terms, and small, tight-knit “virtual” classes. As a result of these “best-in-class” features, Light University Online has experienced a 300% year over year growth rate and has already graduated close to 400 students who are now better trained in the helping ministries.
