Institutions are constantly striving to increase student enrolment and to get more prospects interested in their schools, programmes, and courses, with the goal of building or shaping enrolment. Success is not dictated solely by a received application or sent admission letter. Rather it’s the on-boarding process which can ultimately determine a school’s final enrolment rate.
Selecting the right candidates for admission is a part of the solution. But once candidates are admitted, it is essential for schools to be effective at continuing to communicate and engage with them. Issues such as preference for another school, indecision, and “summer melt” must be addressed to ensure increased student enrolment rates. And like so many other things, this process is often constrained by ever-tightening budgets. Colleges and Universities must be smart about communicating with admitted students, and often the best way to do that today is through mobile engagement.
Strategies to increase college enrolment rates using mobile apps
With growing usage of mobile apps, emails are taking a back seat. Target students belong to the Notification Generation. It has become imperative for institutions to embrace this trend and bridge the generational gap to reach students on the platform they prefer for communication – their mobile phones.
