Get Your New Admits to Choose UNLV |
Graduate student recruitment does not end when a student submits an application. Successful recruitment culminates in the admitted student enrolling in classes.
While significant time and resources are often expended for pre-application recruitment activities, post-admission decision activities are equally, if not more, important. These activities often factor into whether your most qualified candidates choose to accept your offer of admission and enroll.
According to the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), “It is critical that departments and graduate schools follow up on admission offers to increase the likelihood that admitted students will actually enroll (Council of Graduate Schools, 2012).”
CGS also notes that faculty advisors and/or current students contacting newly admitted students can “be successful in both encouraging matriculation and smoothing a student’s transition to graduate study (Council of Graduate Schools, 2012).” This assertion is also supported by a 2012 report on marketing and recruiting for master’s-level programs by Noel-Levitz which outlines the top 10 most effective practices at public institutions. | |
