Admissions - Undergraduate

Undergraduate Admissions

What impact will the implementation of Student Administration have on the campus?  Below is a list of positive impacts, and challenges, to the campus.

    Positive Impacts:

• Ability to track students from recruitment through admissions will provide better yield reporting.
• Self-service functionality that allows applicants to check the status of their application and missing documents online.
• Opportunity to streamline the Undergraduate Admissions process and those of other departments such as the Honors College and Academic departments with selective standards for their majors.
• Integration of SA and document imaging application to improve graduate school admission processes.
• Ability to capture the history of applications submitted as opposed to the old data being overwritten.
• Elimination of shadow systems.
• Better targeting of recruitment communications through use of additional recruiting status.
• Loading of SAT/AP/PSAT data in SA improves our previous process by using customizable Search/Match functionality.   
• Integrated query tool will allow staff greater access to information.
  

    Challenges (potential negative impacts):

• Maintaining operations while implementing a new system
• Implementing new technologies and ongoing staff training
• Associated costs of new system (cost of training, redesigning publications)
