Slide7CCP Enrollment Trends
NUMBER OF STUDENTS
Slide8The Admissions FunnelTypically, admissions follows the following model:
Prospect – someone who has not connected with the college, but may have interest
Inquiry – the potential student has shown documented interest in the college
Applicant – someone who has gone through the process of applying
Registered – a student has signed up for courses
Enrolled – the student has actually attended courses
Slide9The Funnel has ChangedCCP students now often go from Prospect to Applicant without being an inquiry
This is important as the inquiry stage is where students show their true interest in attending the College
By skipping the inquiry stage, it makes it very difficult to determine which students are actually intending on enrolling at your institution after high school
Slide10The Rhodes Application ModelOnce a student applies to Rhodes State College (CCP or New Student) and completes at least one course, they NEVER have to reapply.
Eliminates the application process for CCP students who are seniors intent on enrolling
Causes issues with enrollment reports
Creates the need to determine a student’s true major
Is confusing to students and parents
Slide11Rectifying the Situation - CommunicationMulti-faceted communication plan to determine who are the CCP students that have interest in enrolling at Rhodes State after high school
Letters to the family
Direct communication with school counselors
Superintendent, principal, and school counselor summits on campus
Email promotion to both students and parents
Texting campaign to students
Slide12Rectifying the Situation - ProcessThe creation of the “CCP Intent to Enroll Form”
Slide13The Process Assessed and Improved
Slide14Collecting Information
Slide15Working the DatabaseBy using this method, we have been able to get accurate and up to date contact information for the student
It allows for a comprehensive communication plan to these specific students
It confirms enrollment terms and majors
Provides better access for scholarships
