General System Features – The eLife Framework features a fast, scalable database engine with support for hundreds of concurrent desktop and mobile users, cloud or on-campus network options, and multiplatform support. eLife offers a clean, intuitive user interface in an SSL-secure environment for up to 16 different user groups with support for term-based on- and off-loading of student users. Customizations are possible for a wide variety of uses and third-party software API integrations.
eLife Dashboard – The eLife Dashboard provides users with at-a-glance information on activities/to-dos, dorm programs and logs, club information, and community engagement programs. It also provides the student center front desk with a convenient interface to log all requests for information, view upcoming student events and even sell tickets. Users see only the dashboards relevant to their role within eLife.
Housing Management – Let hall directors and residential assistances (RAs) take advantage of eLife to manage dorm access, record interactions with residents, document room damages and other incidents, and log ongoing hall activity. In addition, eLife stores residential rosters and manages housing council meetings. eLife can even be used to manage the interview process for new RAs.
Programming – A main feature of eLife is support for a wide range of non-academic events and programs related to dorms, clubs, student activities, volunteer organizations, or even the student government's activities group scheduling concerts and other campus-wide events. Track proposals, approvals, budgets, registration, and attendance.
Student Activities – eLife allows universities to manage all aspects of student clubs and other RSOs. Track CAB event registration, ticket sales, and attendance like other types of event programming.
Student Leadership and Volunteerism – Does your school have an office of community engagement and student volunteer opportunities? eLife manages all programs and events, whether single day efforts like community cleanups or ongoing activities like tutoring. Handle schedules and registration, track attendance, and even assign academic credits or points toward housing priority. eLife handles communications and makes sure everyone does their civic duty!
