3.5 - Success in Higher Education

The role of the admission advisor is focused on more than just getting the students on enrollment. The real deal starts to inspire students to continue their education, as enrollment is down across the board. The common issue arises when admissions officers disregard the value of developing connections with students in order to boost dials. Degree requirements that are too complicated and appear to be unnecessary, roadblock courses, and unavailable or inconvenient courses can all create significant challenges to student success.

In this new multimodal learning environment, utilizing diverse metrics and including student voices are critical components to improving success in higher education.

“We have some people who can be really good tour guides, but the true connections with admissions representatives and prospective students is the rapport and the relationship they build on that phone.”

“We make a point to really make sure that what's going on in the classroom, the content is engaging and that the student reason to come in.”
