From Paper Files to Regulatory Workflows: CT OHE’s Veoci Modernization Journey

July 29, 2026
2:00PM ET / 11:00AM PT

Many higher education regulatory agencies are responsible for complex oversight work while still relying on paper files, Access databases, shared spreadsheets, email chains, and staff memory to keep processes moving. Those tools may keep an office functioning, but they can also make it harder to track deadlines, manage records, communicate consistently, report on activity, and see where matters stand.

Join Sean Seepersad from the Connecticut Office of Higher Education for a candid case-study discussion on how the agency modernized its operations from a fragmented legacy process toward a modern integrated operations platform using Veoci. This session will explore how CT OHE uses digital workflows to manage complex regulatory programs, such as institutional authorization, private career school oversight, and State Approving Agency work, from intake through review, decision, and public reporting.

Featured Examples

Discover how CT OHE replaced legacy systems with integrated digital workflows, and learn how to apply these same principles to modernize your own regulatory operations:

  • A private career school application workflow including multi-section submissions.
  • A student complaint process that moves from public intake to staff review.
  • The Credential Registry and public dashboard of how regulatory data can support transparency, and more.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for agencies struggling with paper-heavy or fragmented processes that want to improve oversight using a complete workflow platform.

  • State higher education regulators
  • Private career school regulators
  • Agency administrators
  • Compliance staff
  • Others responsible for managing recurring regulatory workflows

About the Speaker

Sean Seepersad, Ph.D., serves as Division Director of Academic Affairs at the Connecticut Office of Higher Education, where he oversees several areas of postsecondary regulatory work, including institutional authorization, private career school authorization, and State Approving Agency functions. His division is responsible for applying Connecticut’s higher education statutes and regulations across a broad portfolio of degree-granting institutions, private career schools, out-of-state providers, SARA-related matters, and veterans’ education benefit approvals.

At OHE, Dr. Seepersad has helped lead a multi-year effort to modernize regulatory operations by moving paper-heavy Access database, spreadsheet, and email-based processes into integrated digital workflows using Veoci. That work has supported more consistent application reviews, better recordkeeping, improved deadline tracking, clearer communication with institutions and schools, and stronger use of regulatory data across OHE’s oversight programs.

Dr. Seepersad regularly presents on higher education regulation, data systems, inter-agency collaboration, and institutional compliance. His work pairs rigorous oversight with practical technical assistance, with a focus on helping institutions meet regulatory requirements while strengthening student protection, transparency, and program quality.
