We are excited to announce our collaboration with Legal Science, LLC. This collaboration brings integration of Legal Science’s Monqcle State Laws database directly into Mentis. All of our customers using ELC, can now access State Laws for Private and Public institution by state and also SARA policy information. Below is a complete list of all the significant updates you can find in Mentis 2.6.0 focused on the app E-Learning Compliance.
New Data & Resources
- State Laws Database: Browse summary information and read the full text of the state authorization policy by state for public and private institutions.
- More Agencies: More than 1400 new agencies have been included with this update. These include licensure boards for 36 different professions across most states as well as portal agencies. Agency tags allow you to quickly search for an agency by profession while the default list displays your primary state authorization agency in the various states. For e.g., try using tags like “licensure” to display all licensing boards in a state or “licensure, medical” for all medical licensure boards.
New Reports
Head over to reports and click on the drop-down on the right hand side to view these new reports.
- Physical Presence Report: Now that you have been busy updating physical presence information for your programs, this report will allow you to query that information easily and export it out for internal communication.
