Admission Appraisal and Success Plan

Boost enrolments by optimising your admissions operations

Admissions is the engine room of student recruitment. Importantly, unlike external market conditions, the admissions process is within an institution’s direct influence and can have a material impact on growth and revenue.

However, delivering an admissions service that meets student and business partner expectations is a major challenge for most institutions.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Edified’s Admissions Appraisal and Success Plan takes an in-depth look at your international and/or domestic admissions operations to help you determine exactly where you are now, where you need to be and what it will take to get you there.

Our methodology involves reviewing your support structures and major activities across the applicant lifecycle. We conduct a detailed investigation of the critical success areas of your admissions function.

These can include your application processes, entrance requirements, organisational design, reporting, systems enablement, applicant experience, admissions strategy and governance.

Once we have the information we need, we map your processes and capabilities against best practice and give you a scorecard against critical success areas. Our recommendations, based on our experience working on admissions transformation projects with institutions globally, give you a clear, practical roadmap on how to move from your current state to best practice, and the resourcing required.

Our report to you will be unambiguous and easy to use, with detailed findings, and a list of quick wins and immediate improvements – so you can deliver a fast, effective and efficient admissions service that will directly improve enrolment outcomes and increase revenue.
