Ellucian holds the information. Ivy & Ocelot delivers it.
When students ask questions online, they’re not looking for generic help, they’re trying to access answers that live inside your Ellucian Banner or Colleague platform, tied to their academic record, financial status, schedule, and aid eligibility.
“My GPA is 2.0 — what should I do?”
“I think I’m failing this class.”
“What’s my balance?”
“How do I fix my schedule?”
“Will my financial aid be affected?”
Without an integrated way to surface that information, students wait, staff translate, and critical moments are delayed.
Ivy & Ocelot is an AI-powered student engagement platform that integrates directly with Ellucian
It integrates directly with Ellucian Banner or Colleague to turn SIS data into real-time, personalized answers for students, delivered on the channels they already use, without adding strain to staff. Through secure single sign-on and live integrations, Ivy & Ocelot pulls the right academic, financial, and enrollment data and translates it into clear, student-ready guidance, without exposing raw system data or requiring staff intervention.
This integration means
Answers
are based on live Banner or
Colleague data, not static content
Responses
reflect the student’s actual
status, term, holds, and rules
Students get guidance instantly 24/7
even after hours, via chat, SMS, email, voice, and social channels.
Behind the scenes, Ivy & Ocelot works with your Ellucian systems, not around them
Conversation transcripts sync back into your environment, records stay up to date, and staff gain real-time visibility into common questions, behavioral patterns, and emerging risks: helping teams intervene earlier and operate more efficiently.
