UPortfolio – UPortfolio lets students demonstrate and showcase their skills and experience, both inside and outside the classroom. It helps students track their progress toward graduation, while giving advisors and administrators the ability to deploy and track student development and assessment toward desirable outcomes. UPortfolio even works in the recruiting window for high school students by giving them the tools to build depth into their application package.

UPeers - Social networking with an academic twist, UPeers is a student-friendly "e-community" that allows users to interact through messaging and online activities. Participants create their own public profiles (including an optional photo), share interests, form study groups and plan get-togethers – all in an environment that safeguards privacy.

UBlog - The term "blog" has become a staple in the day-to-day lives of the Millennial generation, and UBlog is an easy-to-use blogging system that lets students self-publish an interactive online journal where they can share their thoughts and opinions with others. In the recruiting and yield windows, UBlog can be enabled just for your upperclass student ambassadors and campus tour gurus, so they can connect with prospective students in a fun, casual and much-used medium. Bloggers can even customize the look of UBlog to match their personality and lifestyle.

UScene - What is there to do on the weekends? Where can students go to study, besides the library? Where can they hear a great band or mingle with others from local colleges? How can online learners get a study group together with other online learners? UScene seamlessly incorporates "clickable" headlines about on - and off - campus entertainment and upcoming events, as well as options for dining, recreating and just plain hanging out – from a party on the quad to a poetry reading at a downtown coffee house. Students can provide their own suggestions and reviews, and even invite others to meet them at a particular locale.

UFindIt - UFindIt is a unique, online and/or offline contest designed to educate students about their campus. It has been proven to get students more involved and make them feel more connected to the community.

Event Manager - Campus visits are often essential to a student’s choice of which school to attend. Event Manager helps schools strategically control campus visits and expand and monitor important elements like student registrations.
