Building the Case for
Incoming Solutions.

Growing and retaining international students boils down to three key factors—the ability to:
  1. Effectively compete for enrollment.
  2. Efficiently maintain SEVIS compliance requirements.
  3. Engage and communicate with students to maintain their immigration status and ensure academic success.

Terra Dotta helps you save time, maintain compliance, and improve communication, so that you can focus on what matters most: Supporting, engaging, and retaining your international population.

These four universities discovered new ways to grow with help from Terra Dotta:
