Introduction
Once a student enrolls, the real journey begins. From academics to emotional well-being, and from billing to extracurricular activities, educational institutions in the UAE are expected to deliver a seamless and personalized experience throughout a student’s lifecycle. Salesforce Education Cloud empowers schools, colleges, and training institutes to get a complete 360° view of every student—so they can engage, support, and succeed together.
The Need for Centralized Student Data
Traditional systems in many schools and universities often store student information across disconnected platforms—grades in one, attendance in another, payments in spreadsheets, and counseling notes in yet another system. This siloed approach leads to:
Incomplete student records
Missed opportunities for early intervention
Inefficient support communication
Poor reporting for stakeholders
Salesforce solves this by bringing all student data—academic, financial, behavioral, and personal—under one secure, cloud-based platform.
What a 360° View Looks Like in Salesforce
1. Unified Student Profile
Each student has a single, dynamic record that includes:
Contact and demographic details
Academic performance and progress
Attendance and behavioral trends
Parent or guardian information
Counseling or wellness sessions
Billing and fee status
Accessible by authorized teachers, administrators, or counselors based on role-based permissions.
2. Early Alerts for At-Risk Students
Salesforce’s AI-powered tools can identify patterns indicating students at risk of:
Failing courses
Dropping out
Facing mental health or behavioral issues
This enables proactive intervention before problems escalate.
3. Parent & Guardian Communication
Automatically send grade reports, attendance alerts, event invitations, or fee reminders to parents through their preferred channels—email, SMS, or even WhatsApp (popular in the UAE).
4. Support Ticketing for Students
Students can log issues—from IT support to academic advising—through a self-service portal. Salesforce routes each request to the right department, tracks status, and keeps communication open.
5. Student Surveys & Feedback
Collect insights directly from students on course satisfaction, instructor performance, campus services, and more—then use dashboards to drive improvements.
UAE Use Case: University in Abu Dhabi
A private university in Abu Dhabi adopted Salesforce to unify student records and improve engagement. Within the first academic year:

Key Benefits for UAE Institutions
Arabic + English support
Mobile access for faculty, students, and parents
Real-time dashboards for school boards or Ministry reports
Secure and compliant with UAE’s data protection regulations
Integration with SIS, ERP, and learning platforms
The Future of Education Is Student-Centric
In a time when students and parents expect high-touch, personalized service, having a 360° view isn’t optional—it’s essential. Salesforce helps UAE institutions move from reactive support to proactive engagement, ensuring every student is seen, heard, and supported.
