What is the StudentAccess Advantage?

People. There's a reason we've been serving the educational community for over ten years. Quite simply - we enjoy it.   Many people on our staff are former staff members at TRIO programs and educational institutions who know what it's like to make a difference in a student's life. Others on our staff include those students. We know education helps people.  We know people need the support of others in order to be successful, and we're here to support you. 

Technology. Our software is based on the most widely adopted standards in the computer industry and the same standards used by the Department of Education. This includes Microsoft Access, the most popular desktop database in history. Microsoft Office, the standard in desktop productivity. Microsoft SQL Server, the fastest growing standard in database technology. Microsoft IIS Server, with the most advanced security response team and automatic updates supporting the most secure web site deployments in the world.

Philosophy. There are three founding principles that HCI and StudentAccess was founded on. Provide Value to any effort we take part in.  Many companies do not understand how educational organizations live, work and survive by the underlying principles that the students come first.  We understand that, and realize that all organizations must make the most of the resources available, a critical trait to educational grants.  Help People and contribute back to the community.  We're the first to offer Partnerships to GEAR UP grants across the country, donating part of our software and services to those in need.  We also sponsor the SSS Student Recognition Programs at Colorado State University, the first ever provided to TRIO students in our region.  Listening is critical not only to who we are, but to what we do.   We want to provide you with the very best products and services available; to make your job as easy as possible.  So we continually listen to our customers and collect feedback about what they would find most helpful.  We use this feedback in our ongoing development efforts to improve our products and services; thereby increasing the value we provide and bringing our philosophy full circle.
