Ellucian Colleague and Softdocs integrate together to connect records, automate workflows, and reduce manual data entry across your campus.

Colleague handles the core administrative record for a large segment of higher education institutions, particularly community colleges.

The Softdocs integration supports Ethos APIs, direct database access, sFTP, and ELF import — giving institutions flexibility based on their deployment and IT preferences. Form fields prepopulate from Colleague data, submissions write back on completion, and documents are accessible from within the Colleague interface. For institutions on Ellucian Experience, Softdocs workflows and forms can be embedded directly in the portal without requiring users to switch applications.
