University of Houston Joins redLantern's u.select Network

OXFORD, Ohio - The University of Houston has chosen redLantern's online transfer advising tool, u.select (formerly CAS), to promote their institution to prospective students. By joining the u.select network the university will join over three hundred other campuses on this interactive transfer portal. u.select provides a tightly integrated network of participating schools' information and offers the ability for an institution to market their school to prospective students ultimately attracting more transfer students. Student users have access to an information portal which will assist them in making educated decisions concerning their academic career.

University of Houston chose u.select because it was highly recommended by other Texas schools and served as a solution to their Achieving the Dream initiative in Texas. This initiative is in connection with Houston Endowment and was formed in order to help more community college students succeed. "We are very excited to begin using u.select here at the University of Houston", said Stephen Webb, Director of Enterprise Systems Student Administration, "we believe this tool will help more and more students throughout Texas achieve academic success." Webb also added "UH was familiar with redLantern and their products, so when other schools asked us to join the network, there was no question, u.select was the product we wanted."

u.select provides valuable information on over twenty-one thousand programs from colleges across the country and boasts users from over one hundred and eighteen countries. "We are thrilled to have University of Houston join the u.select network." said Jason Elwood, President of redLantern LLC., "Participating in the network will allow the university to provide course specific information to transfer students across the state and surrounding areas."

The University of Houston is a four year institution that offers over 100 undergraduate programs and nearly 200 graduate degree programs, including some that rank among the nation's best. They have an enrollment of over 36,000. Additional information on University of Houston can be found at www.uh.edu .

University of Utah goes live with redLantern's u.direct

OXFORD, Ohio - redLantern, LLC, is pleased to announce that The University of Utah has implemented redLantern's newest product, u.direct.  Recently the university released u.direct as the Graduation Planning System (GPS). u.direct is an interactive advising tool that enables faculty and students to build personalized term-by-term academic success plans. By utilizing u.direct the University of Utah can increase student retention, enhance graduation rates and capture true course demand.

John Francis, Sr. Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs states "We are eager to integrate the u.direct tool into our advising process and begin working directly with students to approve plans and determine course needs. We can utilize our existing degree audit data from redLantern's DARwin software to create semester-specific academic plans to help students stay on track for graduation."

u.direct works as a powerful advising and planning tool to provide students with a clear and individually customized path to meet their graduation goals. Faculty and staff build a program roadmap; a template of courses that will fulfill requirements for specific degree programs. Students can then view these templates and select courses they want to take as they develop a personal, detailed term by term, multi-year, academic course plan.  "The University of Utah has taken a big step in providing their students the ability to create plans, work directly with advisors and stay on course for graduation." said Jason Elwood, President of redLantern, LLC.  "The university will see additional benefits as they begin to utilize information from these plans to more precisely predict course demand and related resources."

The University of Utah is the flagship institution of the Utah System of Higher Education. Founded in 1850, it is the first and largest public higher education institution in Utah, with more than 28,000 students and a campus comprising almost 1,500 acres in the eastern foothills of Salt Lake City. A major academic and research institution with an extensive health sciences center, the University offers majors in 72 subjects at the undergraduate level and more than 90 major fields of study at the graduate level including law and medical schools.  For additional information on the University of Utah visit www.utah.edu.
