In recent years, higher education institutions worldwide have experienced declining enrollment as a result of shifts in demographics. One way that colleges and universities can reverse this trend is to utilize technologies that improve accessibility and student engagement.
For example, virtual tours and online student portals can make it easier for busy applicants to explore what a school has to offer. These tools also give prospective applicants a way to “visit” college campuses outside their state without having to travel.
Digitizing the application process is another way to attract more students. By employing online application hubs for enrollment and financial aid, colleges can make it much more convenient for students to complete forms, send transcripts, and check the status of their application.
E-mail and mobile apps help colleges communicate with prospective applicants and encourage them to complete enrollment requirements before the deadline. Early engagement also builds school spirit and welcomes students into the community before they finish applying.
