Tackling Digital Access at Casper College: A Transformative Experience

Casper College is a public two-year institution in Casper, Wyoming, serving nearly 4,000 students with over 250 faculty members across a 200-acre campus. 

Casper College relied on an outdated web portal for SSO, which was slow, cumbersome, and incompatible with many applications, including Google Apps. Students and faculty often had to log in manually to multiple systems, reducing productivity and creating frustration. The college needed a modern, cost-effective solution that supported a broad range of applications and was easy to use with minimal training.  

ClassLink provided an intuitive, low-cost SSO platform that supported over 225 applications. “The price was approximately one-third the cost of other solutions we reviewed,” said Kent Brooks, Director of IT. The college also utilized ClassLink’s My Files, allowing instant access to network files from any device. With a single, user-friendly interface, students and faculty could seamlessly access cloud-based resources like Google Apps, Moodle, and WebAdvisor. Casper College also customized ClassLink to include one-click access to FAFSA pages and student engagement programs, enhancing retention efforts.
