Challenges

To improve student success and retention, Xavier University created its Day One Program, a groundbreaking initiative that delivers all required course materials to students as part of their tuition. The program delivers tremendous benefits by taking the guesswork out of textbook selection and helping students be successful from the first day of class.

To ensure the success of the Day One Program, the university needed innovative technology that could deliver multiple solutions while also catering to students’ busy schedules.

Solution

Using Transact Mobile Ordering, Transaction System Enterprise (TSE), and iValidate™ mobile validation, Xavier is able to streamline processes and enhance student engagement to make the Day One Program run smoothly. Pre-check-in and direct communication to students via push notifications and inbox messages make everyone’s first day easier and more organized.

 In addition to supporting the Day One Program, Xavier uses Mobile Ordering to provide campus dining mobile ordering for students on-the-go, as well as facilitating student, faculty, and staff donations to local food and toy drives right from their mobile devices.
