Speakers Bureau - Admissions Office Operations

Streamlined admissions are critical to supporting your enrollment goals and improving student satisfaction. Realizing the full advantages of automated, streamlined admissions operations requires not only the right technology, but the right training and knowledge to leverage it.

AACRAO Consulting workshop leaders help you identify opportunities for improved admissions efficiencies and accuracies, with the right blend of solutions, skills and structure. Our admissions operations experts will assist you to carefully assess your needs and challenges, then connect you to the right solutions to enable you to:

  • Automate the way student information is loaded and processed

  • Minimize time-consuming manual labor, redundancies and costly human error

  • Make multiple admissions decisions instantly and review cases virtually

  • Conserve time and maximize existing resources

  • Accelerate response rates and improve student satisfaction

An Admission Operations workshop focuses on:

  • Improving your business processes, admissions policies, and current technology investments

  • Managing and mitigating the impact of change to your staff, faculty and most importantly, students

  • Optimizing admissions staff structure, roles, responsibilities, skill sets and how they’re used

  • Enhancing the way you collect, store, review, and process admissions information

You’ll emerge from your workshop with the practical recommendations you need to improve the efficiencies and effectiveness of your admissions processes, staff resources and student services.
