Enhance your engagement strategy by turning the tables on traditional social media platforms and promoting student connections with a private, university-branded mobile app.

Deliver the right message, at the right time based on students’ needs.

We found that 9 in 10 students want to receive personalized communications from admissions offices, tailored specifically to them. By monitoring the Schools App newsfeed and using the Keyword Alerts tool, you can uncover common themes and frequently asked questions to deliver the right messaging at the right time. Using the Survey tool, you can poll students within the app to find out more about their interests and send targeted outreach based on their responses — which automatically sync with your CRM and are added to a student’s contact record. Best of all, Schools App allows you to send Announcements (aka push notifications!) so that you can be sure important updates are seen by students.

Allow students to build their network even before stepping foot on campus.

It’s important for students to find friends before they come to campus, and students who have had at least nine interactions within Schools App are 93% more likely to enroll. Students can take advantage of the Roommate Finder feature to solidify a roommate, or simply search within the app based on profile characteristics to make new friends with similar interests. By leveraging the Private Messaging tool, students can interact with one another directly and even reach out to faculty and staff. Aside from posting in the general newsfeed and sending direct messages, students can also create Meetups that other students can view details for and attend, like a trivia or movie night.

Understand the bigger picture to enroll more students with Enrollment Intelligence.

Students who join Schools App show a strong interest to be involved with your university community early on, but the Enrollment Intelligence tool provides staff with deeper insight into which students are most likely to enroll based on their activity. By tailoring communications and sending hyper-personalized Announcements to students with the highest activity level scores, you can quickly convert more admits to enrolled students. With Schools App, you can monitor student engagement, gain valuable insight into real-time discussions, and effectively enroll more students each year.
