Thesis Elements Launches Innovative Student Life Module

In a significant move to modernize the management of student services, Thesis Elements has unveiled its newest feature, a comprehensive Student Life module specifically designed for small to midsize higher education institutions. This module promises to transform the way colleges manage vital student services by integrating essential functionalities into a single, user-friendly platform.

A New Era for Small Colleges

For years, smaller colleges have grappled with outdated or cumbersome solutions for managing student life. Dr. Jennifer Beyer, the Vice President of Product Management at Thesis Elements, articulated the challenges faced by Student Life leaders: "Small colleges have long been underserved by outdated or overly complex student life systems. We designed this module to give Student Life leaders the necessary tools they need without wrangling with spreadsheets or chasing down student data."

With this new module, institutions can finally streamline processes that were traditionally manual and disjointed. The Student Life module introduces a cloud-native approach that enables colleges to manage everything from housing assignments and meal plans to health records and billing, all in one place.

Key Features of the Student Life Module

This module is packed with innovative features aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and user experience:

• - Dynamic Housing Management: Colleges can easily configure residence halls, floors, and rooms while incorporating customizable criteria such as accessibility options, gender, and pet accommodations. It allows for both individual student assignments and application-based workflows, and plans for future enhancements include room selection lotteries.

• - Meal Plan Flexibility: The module supports mandatory meal plans for first-year students while providing a variety of options for upperclassmen, including commuter plans and dining dollar tracking, all directly linked to billing systems.

• - Integrated Form Builder: The embedded form builder collects housing applications and service requests seamlessly, eliminating the need for external tools like Microsoft Forms, thus creating a more cohesive user experience.

• - Automated Billing Integration: Changes made to room and meal plan selections immediately reflect in students' billing ledgers, preventing errors associated with dual data entry.

• - Power BI-Driven Reporting: With customizable dashboards and exportable reports, institutions gain real-time insights into occupancy rates, application statuses, and billing summaries, enabling better decision-making.

Future Capabilities

While the module is already packed with features, it lays the groundwork for even more capabilities in the future, including track records for move-ins and move-outs, maintenance requests, and parking pass management. This forward-thinking approach demonstrates Thesis Elements' commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of educational institutions.

Accessible to All Clients

The good news is that this Student Life module is available not only to existing Thesis Elements clients but also to new institutions looking to join the Thesis SIS ecosystem. As small colleges increasingly look for efficient and modern solutions to enhance student engagement, this module stands as a pivotal tool to drive such transformation.
