Capture student safety information

We encourage students to travel off campus to supplement their classroom education. ELI helps you know where your interns are located at any given time by creating centralized record of each student’s semester away from campus, including: 

  • Relevant emergency contact information

  • Current physical location 

  • Supervisor’s contact information

  • Start and stop dates of engagement

In the case of an emergency, such as a natural disaster, centralized location data allows you to find every student within a geographical region to be sure they are safe. Peace of mind comes when you can reach students anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.

Comply with federal regulations

Streamline compliance with current and pending federal and state regulations by making the information you need accessible and easy to report.

Universities must know where every student goes for Out of State Learning Placements and must confirm with the federal government that the university is authorized to deliver education in all the states where students intern.

Affiliation agreement and internship contract management. Ensure the educational partnership between your institution and the internship site is properly formalized with documents you know are legal counsel approved and that you can access at all times.

  • Faculty supervisor and their department/program

  • Site location, site supervisor, and type of OOSLP
