Greenwood Hall, Inc. (OTCQB:ELRN), an education technology company that helps colleges and universities increase revenue and improve student engagement and outcomes, today announced the Company has entered into an agreement with 20,000 student Oklahoma City Community College ("OCCC"), to offer enhanced student support services to assist students with gaining better access to college services.

Greenwood Hall will provide a comprehensive student services solution designed to provide students with improved access to fundamental information about OCCC and the array of support and student success services available to students. Services will be provided via phone, web chat, and email, specifically tailored to offer students additional lines of communication as well as to make student services staff on campus even more accessible so they can have more in-depth and productive interactions with students face-to-face.

The Company will assist the OCCC in enhancing student success and experience through support in the areas of financial aid, admissions, registration and other enrollment, student service and campus-related inquiries.

“OCCC’s partnership with Greenwood Hall represents a unique opportunity for us to better serve each of our prospective, new and current students as they interact with OCCC staff,” said OCCC Executive Vice President Steven Bloomberg. “We expect Greenwood Hall’s expertise in student lifecycle management to enable us to spend more quality, one-on-one time with students as they address topics pertaining to their college and career goals.”

“It’s a win-win for our students and staff,” says Dr. Lisa Fisher, Vice President for Enrollment and Student Services at OCCC. “Students will receive the quality meetings they deserve with staff regarding their future, and our staff gets the opportunity to do what they are most passionate about – helping students make the best choices in their education so they can succeed in life beyond college.”

“There is a growing recognition in today’s higher education landscape that improving the student experience is critical to student success,” said Chris Burton, Vice President of Business Development at Greenwood Hall. “Our counselors receive extensive training on how to create a culture of service to help foster student success. This emphasis on service has proven to reduce wait times, improve student satisfaction, and most importantly, remove barriers to student success. It is our privilege to provide OCCC and its students with forward thinking solutions as we have done for many other community colleges across the U.S.”
