Slate for Admissions

As the former Director of Undergraduate Admission, I used Slate for Admissions to track our progress throughout the recruitment year to see if we would bring in enough students for the following. Slate for Admissions was so valuable in helping us to run reports on where to spend our recruitment time and energy throughout different stages of the enrollment funnel from prospect all the way to enrolled student.

• Helped us recruit some of our largest classes in university history
• Easier user interface so multiple departments using one platform
• Easy to generate reports based on specific criteria

Slate is being used by our university for the entire admissions process and for communication to prospective and applied/admitted students. It also being used as a contact database for organization contacts from churches to schools. It is being used for event management from overnight events to appointments and walk-ins. It is used for communication logging from sms messaging to phone conversations.

• It has dismissed the need for outside services such as Wufoo and Active Campaign.
• It has dismissed the admissions main use of an outdated "crm": ECAMS.
• It has intertwined the way that we house everything from digital documents to interactions in a simpler interface.

My university uses Slate[, by Technolutions] to manage applications for prospective students.

• We aren't really a business, per se, but a nonprofit university. However, Slate[, by Technolutions] does allow us to easily sort applications into categories for different departments to review. And it provides a clear trail of who is looking at various documents when--and how long it takes to process them.

Slate is our prospective student information system. We use it to collect and manage prospective student data, campus visits and events, applications for admission and scholarships, and communications to students and parents. We started with our undergraduate programs and have recently expanded to include our graduate programs, as well. It also helps us to track our enrollment goals in real-time with powerful query and reporting tools.

• Increased enrollment.
• Increased student engagement with admissions counselors.
• Increased event and campus visit attendance.
• Increased email campaign performance.
• Decreased time spent on data management.
