Comply with Regulatory Changes and Industry Standards

Datatel is committed to helping clients comply and adopt regulatory mandates and industry standards. We uniquely designed Datatel Colleague to directly incorporate regulatory standards and requirements enabling you to maximize productivity. You never worry if your institution is compliant.

Full compliance helps you reduce audit findings while increasing your institution’s accountability.

  • Ensure financial aid compliance
    Datatel works closely with regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Department of Education and National Council of Higher Education Loan Providers (NCHELP) to ensure compliance with critical financial aid regulations – COD, Reauthorization, and CommonLine.
  • Stay current with Homeland Security
    Datatel will help you monitor emerging legislation, such as the Patriot Act. Working closely with the Department of Homeland Security, we make sure you are fully aware of and compliant with new regulations such as the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).
  • Maintain student data privacy
    Most of your students' information is available online. Your institution must adapt the proper data privacy procedures to ensure your students’ data remains secure. Datatel monitors legislation such as the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA), and the Canadian Privacy Act and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) initiatives.
  • Submit accurate national reports
    The government requires institutions to submit accurate and timely reports such as the U.S. Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and Canada’s Enhanced Student Information System (ESIS) reporting . Datatel Colleague provides this critical information in the format required by the National Council of Education Statistics (NCES) and Statis tics Canada.
  • Utilize emerging electronic standards
    Datatel works closely with organizations such as the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council (PESC) to help determine electronic standards. Using standards increases the flow of information and data from one system to another, helping to create a more connected campus.
