Dunwoody College of Technology is a private, not-for-profit technical college in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With over 200,000 alumni in industry-leading roles, the college continues its mission of providing cutting-edge technical education. It enrolls more than 1,200 students and employs over 250 faculty members.
Managing digital access was a growing challenge for Dunwoody College. Individual departments handled password management for their courses, leading to confusion and frustration among students and educators. With over 16 different applications to locate and log in to, users struggled with fragmented access, and IT staff faced increasing demands for support. The college sought a solution that would centralize digital resources, streamline access, and simplify onboarding for new students and faculty.
After piloting other single sign-on (SSO) solutions that proved costly and challenging, Dunwoody College implemented ClassLink. Now, students, faculty, and staff use LaunchPad to access all school applications, productivity tools, and files in one central location.
With over 150 applications integrated into LaunchPad, including Canvas and Office 365, adding new resources has become far more efficient, freeing IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives. The onboarding process has also improved, with new faculty and staff receiving immediate access through Launchpad. Additionally, ClassLink Analytics empowers college leaders, including the VP of Enrollment and Director of Marketing, with valuable insights into resource usage. This data-driven approach informs key decisions, from instructional design to investment priorities, ensuring Dunwoody remains at the forefront of technical education.
The ability to have mobile and simplified access to one interface is valuable for us.
