Blackboard and American University Partner to Drive Student Enrollment and Retention Efforts
Blackboard to Provide Fast, Reliable and Personalized Student Services for Local University
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington, D.C.-based Blackboard Inc. ("Blackboard") today announced that it has partnered with D.C.-based American University ("AU") to help boost the institution's student enrollment and retention efforts.
The partnership leverages Blackboard's Student Services and Technology Support solution, and is the latest evidence of the company's focus on providing learners with services and solutions that serve the entire educational lifecycle.
At AU, Blackboard has deployed a best-in-class personalized service infrastructure that brings together in one place the disparate processes for student services, including registration, financial aid, academic advising, and student accounts. Instead of waiting in line and having to go back and forth between multiple offices, students can now get all the information they need in one place with live 24/7 phone support and a range of services available online and through mobile apps. This streamlined system will better help students navigate and manage their academic experience.
"We are proud to partner with this premier university located right here in our backyard to deliver fast, reliable and personalized service for students from enrollment through graduation," said Jay Bhatt, CEO of Blackboard.
