If you would like an Ellucian Customer Center Account, please visit our sign up page and enter the required information.  Access to the Ellucian Customer Center is limited to employees at institutions on an active maintenance agreement supported by Ellucian.

Please note, there is a verification process that occurs for each new registration request.  We will review your contact information before approving the request, and some institutions require a simple verification of employment with a current contact at your institution. While approval typically happens quickly, it can take up to five days. Also, please note that the confirmation email granting you access to the Customer Center after verification comes from [email protected] and may land in your spam/junk folder.  Please review this folder as you await approval.

Any employee at an Ellucian customer site is permitted to have a customer center account. The institution must be active and in good standing with a current maintenance plan in order for a Customer Center account to be created.

The baseline Customer Center account is granted basic permissions with access to the following key areas: Community, Documentation, Ideas, Knowledge Articles, Training. Additional services are available and are granted to users on a permission and role basis depending on approval from within the institution. The following services are granted to users ONLY upon institution approval: Actionline cases, Cloud cases, Download Center along with the various Ethos and system configuration tools.

By clicking the Forgotten Password link on the sign in page, you can request a Password Reset link be sent to you. Follow these steps:

• Enter your email address (must be the email address you registered with), or the username you set up when you registered.
• Click the Send Email button, and the reset password link will be sent to your email.
• The link will come from: @okta.com. Make sure this domain is not blocked by your system or not set to fall into your junk/spam folder.
• If you do not receive the Password Reset link, please send an email to [email protected]. A case will be created for you and the Ellucian Customer Success Enablement team can generate a Reset Password link for you.

This is the username that you selected when you registered. It is also on the activation email you received from Okta after you created your account.

If you forget your username, please send an email to [email protected]. This will create a Case in the system, and the Ellucian Customer Success Enablement team can provide your username.

The @ellucian.me is for system use only, because some directories require usernames to be in email format. You should not use that to access the Ellucian Customer Center. Just leave the @ellucian.me off, and that is your username.

The lockout occurs after multiple unsuccessful tries to log into the Ellucian Customer Center. In this case, please send an email to [email protected], and the Ellucian Customer Success Enablement team can generate a Reset Password link which will unlock your account when you activate the link.

When a new contact registers, who is not currently in our database, or if a contact registers with a different email address, not in our database, their employment must be verified before the registration process can continue. An email is sent to a contact at their institution, asking for verification of employment. For this reason, this verification can take up to 5 days. If you have questions about your registration, please send an email to [email protected], and the Ellucian Customer Experience team will assist you.

The url for the Ellucian Customer Center is https://login.ellucian.com.

There are two ways to seek support, via the Ellucian Customer Support at 1-844-358-7222 (US Toll Free) or 1-407-215-3970 (International) or through the recommended method of the Ellucian Customer Center. The Ellucian Customer Center provides access to both Action Line and Cloud support.

Using the secured Ellucian Customer Center is the most efficient and effective means to open a support case. You can assign the relevant priority while also providing detailed information and attachments as needed to help the Cloud analysts more quickly assess the situation and provide timely resolution.

Whichever method you use, you will receive a prompt confirmation that includes the support case number and you can expect a response from a support analyst who is an expert in the product area within the timeframe determined by your institution’s service level and the case priority. Typically, you will view responses from the Support analyst and post your case updates in the Ellucian Customer Center, but, if necessary, you can make other communication arrangements with your Support analyst.

From the Customer Center homepage you can use the Quick Actions button or from the Support/Cases menu click on Create a Support Case.

Our experience shows that support can provide more efficient service and a timelier resolution when you are prepared with certain information at the time you submit the support case.

• The product name and release number;
• The application, form, process or tool being used;
• The environment(s) where you are experiencing the issue (i.e. production, test, development);
• A clear, detailed description of the problem or question, including steps to reproduce the issue (if applicable);
• The priority level of your support case. Cases are assigned priority numbers from 1 to 4;
• In addition, try to gather detailed diagnostic information regarding the issue if it appears to be a system/software problem (e.g., possible program defect). This diagnostic information includes scenarios leading up to the problem (steps to reproduce), any error messages encountered, and relevant forms, programs and reports. You may also be asked if your institution has custom modifications in that process.

A Priority level determines the response time from the support team. To choose the best priority that reflects your current urgency and impact, reference the priority descriptions on the case and select the most appropriate one. Please note, Priority 1 is reserved for the most urgent/critical issues and requires active customer participation throughout the resolution process.

From the Ellucian Customer Center homepage, view the “Cases” widget. See ”My Cases” or if you have the role “All Cases” You can also click the “List all” to see more case list information.

From the Ellucian Customer Center main page, access the desired case from “My Cases” list. Click on the Case Number. Interaction with the case occurs through the comment field.

No, a case will be associated with the Cloud Change. Information will be provided via the case and can be viewable via the Ellucian Customer Center.

Customers do not update Cloud Change records directly but can provide feedback via the email approval notification response. Complex updates to the Change should be communicated via the case or the Cloud Assurance Manager (CAM).
