The latest report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reveals that the recent shifts in higher education enrollment patterns are here to stay, and even accelerating. These trends underscore the urgent need for colleges and universities to adapt their strategies to better serve nontraditional students and expand their offerings beyond traditional degree programs.
Most enrollment leaders struggle with labor-intensive and error-prone qualification processes. As the final installment of our residency and qualifications series, we will go into more detail on how our solution addresses these needs.
Determining residency is often the most intensive area where students need to be qualified. In this article, we will discuss the specifics by which institutions must evaluate and prove in-state residency; and how this drives up admissions processing effort.
In our first article in this series, we described how central the qualification process is to an institutions’ ability to meet enrollment, productivity, and responsiveness goals. We then provided an overview the general process and approaches. In this article, we will discuss the systems involved in this process and how they may be limiting an institution’s success in this area.

In this article, we will describe the key steps involved in this process as well as the overall approaches institutions take as they tackle this.
Over 80% of the processing effort for non-selective admissions is related to verifying and qualifying candidates. This adds complexity to the admissions process for candidates, ties up admissions resources, and creates delays in the admissions / intake process.
Preventing fraud is a significant challenge for most higher education institutions. In order for a bad actor to attempt student-related fraud, he/she must enter through the admissions process. In this article, we will discuss the impact of fraud, the costs, and how good (or bad) processes can affect an institution's success in this area.
Yesterday, the National Student Clearinghouse published their 2023 fall enrollment report. For the first time since the pandemic, enrollment had increased at higher education institutions. However, this increase has come from a very nontraditional source.
The recent Supreme Court ruling banning the consideration of race in college admissions has sent shockwaves through the world of higher education. Institutions are now required to reevaluate their admissions policies and strategies. It is clear that the future of higher education admissions will be reshaped in four significant ways:
One of the more interesting aspects of working in the higher education space is the amount of change and innovation that has been occurring in recent years. Dual-enrollment programs is one of the more exciting ways that schools are re-thinking how they engage with students.
