In 2015, Terra Dotta is hosting two new office-specific Summits in addition to our annual Terra Dotta User Conference (April 13–15). These events will focus on how Terra Dotta software can be used to manage Risk/Travel and ISSS offices on campus.
The Risk/Travel Management Summit will take place in Charlotte, NC at the Charlotte Marriott City Center January 18–20 and will feature sessions on Clery Act and Incident Reporting, Duty of Care, creating a travel registry, and developing a crisis response plan in Terra Dotta software.
An ISSS Summit will be held in Boston, MA at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel prior to the NAFSA national conference May 23–25 and will include sessions on SEVIS reporting in Terra Dotta software, batch processing student records, student communication, and student recruitment using Terra Dotta software.
A New User Workshop will take place the first day of each event to orient those who are just starting to use Terra Dotta software.
Registration opens next month, but please visit us at conference.terradotta.com anytime for more information.. |

The international student population in the last 6 years has undergone significant change: it has grown exponentially larger, and is increasingly undergraduate. These larger numbers of less-experienced students create an additional need/expectation for programming and support - support that is not specifically linked to immigration advising alone. This represents a significant change from previous years’ demographics, which tended largely toward older graduate students who pursued degrees with full funding, and who perhaps relocated to the U.S. accompanied by their spouse and children. This is not to say that international graduate students don’t also need support. However, as a result of age and maturity levels, institutional responsibilities to support undergraduate international students are different.

Every application is comprised of process elements in the system. These building blocks can make or break your application. It is important to know what you can and cannot do with each type of process element. In this webinar we will discuss how to create and deploy process elements. We will also show you how to utilize the resources of the Terra Dotta Community Library to save you from duplicating time and effort on your site.
