Unit4 Student Management

Unit4 Student Management is a next-generation student information system for colleges and universities that combines the latest technology with 30 years’ experience working with education institutions. Part of Unit4's fully integrated Education solutions, it simplifies and reduces your system support costs, provides your students with an intuitive mobile experience, and supports your strategic initiatives with actionable data drawn from built-in analytics. In short, it greatly increases the ROI of replacing your legacy student information system.

Does your student information system no longer support your current and future business models?

Show Hide
According to the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR), the average age of an installed Student Information System at a college or university is 13 years. These legacy systems were built before the emergence of the new business models that have reshaped higher education, and pre-date the disruptive technology that is transforming society’s digital expectations. With no new solutions available in the marketplace, these systems have been kept on life-support through extensive customizations or bolted-on applications. As a result, they are difficult to use and expensive to maintain.
In the meantime, students, faculty and staff have come to expect more as they experience a technological revolution in their personal lives. Unfortunately, when it comes to their campus life, they often experience a “digital downgrade,” using dated systems that don’t meet their high expectations.
Unit4 Student Management is the next-generation student information system specifically developed to close the digital downgrade that users experience when they swap personal devices for work equivalents.
