Why Ellucian Colleague Feeds Fail

Integration with legacy systems like Ellucian Colleague requires infrastructure-level remediation to ensure mobile sync reliability.

Export Timeouts

Colleague often times out when generating large semester schedules, resulting in incomplete ICS files.

Google Sync
12h
Lokr Proxy
~200ms

We force-refresh the feed headers to bypass Google's 12-hour cache.

Recurrence Errors

Recurring class sessions break due to invalid RRULE syntax that iOS and Google Calendar reject.

Detailed Error

The VEVENT contains a property that is not supported by Microsoft Exchange.

Trusted by Ellucian Colleague Teams

We don't sell to end-users. We build for the engineers and admins who have to keep the systems running.

"Ellucian Banner generates compliant ICS files for desktop, but they break on iOS. Lokr standardizes the output so students actually see their exam schedules."

James T.

University Registrar, Major State University

"Integrating Canvas was easy, but the calendar subscriptions were flaky. Lokr's proxy layer stabilized the Canvas feeds for over 40,000 students."

Elena R.

CIO, Private Research University

"We use Salesforce for alumni events. Lokr cleans the feed so alum on old Android devices still get the correct event times."
