Yorkville University and Toronto Film School Go Live with Anthology Student to Reimagine the Student Experience

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthology, the leading educational technology company, today announced Yorkville University (Yorkville U), Canada's largest private university, and Toronto Film School (TFS), a globally recognized top film school, are transforming the student experience with Anthology Student, a flexible, cloud-based Student Information System (SIS) that promotes student success from acceptance to graduation. 

Yorkville U and TFS have long championed a student-first mission, ensuring the individual needs and aspirations of their learners are prioritized at every step. This commitment is reflected in their decision to implement Anthology Student, a platform designed to promote student success across the entire academic lifecycle.

"We are all about empowering our students, providing them with more autonomy and confidence in their academic pursuits," said Chris Gain, Chief Information Officer at Yorkville U and TFS. "With the launch of the new Student Portal powered by Anthology Student we are greatly enhancing their experience, enabling them to align their studies today to their personal and professional goals of tomorrow."

Anthology Student helps institutions create a holistic academic experience for students and administrators, including financial aid, student accounts, and career services. Anthology Student's industry-leading flexible support for both traditional term-based and non-term academic calendars is critical for institutions looking to expand their offerings and meet the needs of the modern learner—a major differentiator in an increasingly important area of the market.

"We're embarking on an exciting new chapter in our digital transformation journey," continued Gain. "Successfully navigating change on this scale requires a strong partnership, and Anthology has consistently demonstrated their commitment to supporting our mission through open communication and a collaborative approach."

Yorkville U and TFS are supported by Anthology's internal professional services organization, which oversees all aspects of implementing and on-boarding new institutions. With a focus on delivering a best-in-class experience, Anthology has built industry-leading data conversion and automated testing tools to simplify and accelerate the work of data migration and manual testing for clients and continues to invest extensively in their implementation team and processes.

"The success of this implementation is a direct result of the client's forward-thinking vision and the dedication of the entire Yorkville U and TFS team," said Josh Portnoy, Chief Customer Officer at Anthology. "Their commitment to driving change has been inspiring, and we're proud to support their efforts in transforming their institutions."
