West Coast Baptist College Taps Campus Management for Enterprise-Class Student Information System and Web Portals

BOCA RATON, Fla., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus Management Corp. announced today that it has been selected by West Coast Baptist College (WCBC) in Lancaster, Calif., to implement CampusVue® Student and CampusVue Portal, higher education's leading student information system and integrated college portals solution. Combined, the software products will enable WCBC to provide a full range of portal-based services to applicants and students.

"Our vision is to provide each new and returning student with personalized attention including instant access to academics as well as student services online," said John Goetsch, executive vice president of the college. "With Campus Management's system, we're retiring a range of fragmented operating systems and applications, like Goldmine, Excel and Access, to improve the delivery of a wide range of services to our students. During registration periods, for example, our dedicated staff works incredible hours to input and manage student data through multiple service applications. With CampusVue Student and CampusVue Portal, we will have a single platform, giving students access around the clock to such services as registration, their finances, degree audit and unofficial transcripts."

CampusVue Portal, which integrates deeply with the student system to automate back office work streams, will enable WCBC to enhance student outreach worldwide. The college's sizeable recruiting team, as well as its expanded online curriculum, draws students across North America, as well as actively deployed military and those on missions on other continents. Additionally, the college mandates a volunteer ministry for all resident students and enrolls over 280 students in work-study programs. "With 32 different ministries, we need an enterprise technology to help us carry out our mission in the most centralized and efficient manner possible," said Goetsch.

"Campus Management has a proud tradition of serving faith-based colleges and universities and is committed to helping West Coast Baptist College achieve its mission with the most innovative products and services," said Timothy B. Loomer, president and chief executive officer of Campus Management. "WCBC has earned a reputation as a quality, mission-driven institution, and Campus Management's people, technology, and services are aligned to their vision."

West Coast Baptist College's mission is to provide students a balanced Christian education and practical training in preparation for the ministry. WCBC grew out of the Lancaster Baptist Church and continues to expand, adding a bus ministry, several adult Bible classes, a radio ministry, a Spanish ministry, a Christian school, and a Bible institute.
