Across higher education, fraud is no longer being treated as an isolated problem—it is becoming an operational challenge.

Artificial intelligence is now central to strategic conversations across higher education. Institutions are experimenting with generative tools, predictive analytics, and new forms of automation across enrollment and student information systems.

But the most important question is not, “What do these tools do?”

If you follow our blogs or attend our webinars, you may have noticed that we're been doing a lot with artificial intelligence recently to drive value out of the student onboarding and student compliance processes.  I'll have to admit that until recently, my experience with AI had been driven by my data warehousing role at PeopleSoft in the 1990's. 

Here is how things have changed since then.

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.

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.

Most institutions spend well upwards of $250,000 per year on digital advertising to recruit new students. Yet, most marketing and admissions leaders have no visibility into the effectiveness of those campaigns -- which prevents them from making key decisions affecting their success.

Diversity and Inclusion.  Whether your institution's goal is to attract new students to offer new experiences and world views or expand enrollment numbers, moving the needle can be a challenge.  Fortunately, there is one thing you can do to engage these candidates and achieve your diversity goals.
