Introducing
ResLife Portal, the Resident Engagement Platform
An integrated suite of modern residence life modules.
Over 35 modules to combine for your organization
You can tell ResLife Portal has been designed by those who have lived and worked in housing. This program has allowed us merge so many processes into one location. The RAs and professional can easily track their personal and building program requirements, programming budget, view calendar to avoid program overlaps, track resident participation in programs, submit weekly reports, log duty round reports and record individual student interactions. We love it!!!
Our RAs love how easy ResLife Portal is to use. They can view their program submissions, check their personal programming budget and view what other programs are happening and that's just part of the programming piece. For Customer Service – Customer service is very quick, respectful and personable. I appreciate ResLife Portal is willing to take suggestions to improve an already great program.
