The fight for students is well and truly on.
Postsecondary enrollment decreased by 4.1% in spring 2022 compared to spring 2021 in the US. Across the past two years, the picture is even more bleak - enrollment declined by 7.4% from spring 2020 to spring 2022. These figures are intensifying what was already an incredibly competitive market.
To grab the attention and engagement of today’s student population, universities and colleges must adopt new strategies that put students front and center. They must cater to their behaviors, expectations, and needs as closely as possible, providing them with a customer experience (CX) that mirrors the experience that students enjoy from B2C brands.
Here are 4 key strategies that any university or college can adopt to help them reverse enrollment decline and increase intake this fall.
How Student Services Can Improve the Student Experience and Reduce DropoutKate Rogerson
Student services in higher education aim to foster student success and reduce dropout rates. However, average dropout rates are 40% for North American colleges and 50% for public universities. Today's students expect support that is convenient, fast, personalized, and available 24/7. The document recommends that student services adopt digital communication channels like live chat, chatbots, SMS, and omnichannel platforms to provide around-the-clock support that meets students' expectations of speed and convenience. This can help improve engagement and reduce dropout rates.
The Student Room The Secrets to Successfully Converting Students Report 2015The Student Room Group
Universities are allocating more time and money to marketing open days, engaging
with students on social media, improving their prospectuses and developing their
websites in order to attract applications from students. Those applications are now in,
students have made their five choices, and are now tying down which of these will be
their firm and insurance options. But what are the factors that influence this decision?
How should marketers focus their efforts at this crucial time to swing the decision in
their favour?
The Maturation of Mobile and Social: The 2017 Social Admissions ReportGil Rogers
Social media is no longer new. Neither is mobile. And yet, it still seems extremely difficult to stay current and up-to-date with what prospective students want and need. With constant changes in student preferences and behavior, how are enrollment marketers to keep up?
This year's edition of the Social Admissions Report will focus on recent trends and shifts in student use of digital tools like college help sites, social media sites like Instagram and Snapchat, and mobile technology to find and access college information during their search and selection process.
This document summarizes key findings from a 2015 social media and digital tools report on high school students' college research habits. Some of the main points covered in 3 sentences or less include:
Students are heavy users of digital tools and social media for college research, with nearly 90% using at least one of the top 8 sites listed. Mobile devices are also increasingly important, with over 80% visiting college websites on mobile and one-third submitting applications from a mobile device. While social media use for initial research is declining, sites like Facebook, YouTube and Instagram are still frequently used once students have started applying to schools.
Selfies, Snapchat, So What?
The 2015 Social Admissions report provides an overview of what social media, digital tools, and mobile technology impacts student behavior and decision-making throughout their college search and selection process.

considered higher education. This encompasses colleges, universities, specialty
programs, and any sort of higher learning. It larger than a 10 billion dollar
industry and growing every year. Competition for the education industry is the
work force or services where possible students begin working or enlist in

Why is the college discovery process so broken? Our solution (1st pitch)George K
Education is at the core of who we are. Our closest friends and our future career path by enlarge depend on where we go to college, right? If the stakes are so high why should the burden of search be on high school students? With so much white noise how can teenagers find out what school matches their potential? Today students are making arguably the most important decision in their life based on US New rankings and perceptions of friends and family, leading to stress for students today and wasted potential down the line.
There has to be a better way. We want to change the way high school students interact with universities by enabling colleges to reach out directly to students based on their achievements, interests, and preferences

Marketers in higher education face increasing challenges in converting prospective students due to financial concerns surrounding student loan debt, competition from online programs, and students relying on social media for information. To meet continued demand for postsecondary education, schools must understand how digital media has empowered students throughout the decision process and tailor their marketing strategies to influence students at different stages. A study found that students develop a shortlist of typically just three schools early in the process before contacting schools. Friends, family and peers are highly influential information sources second only to school websites. Professional networks are also important influencers. Schools need content marketing strategies that engage students throughout the entire decision journey.
With prospective students spending more time online due to uncertainty around COVID-19, higher education institutions are seeing engagement with their digital marketing efforts on LinkedIn. Engagement with articles and posts on LinkedIn increased dramatically in March as audiences seek information from trusted sources. It is recommended that higher education marketers provide timely updates on programs, leverage virtual platforms to stay connected with communities, and maintain a focus on relationship building to support prospective students during this challenging time.

Colleges and universities must do a better job preparing students for the workplace. Currently, many graduates are unemployed or underemployed due to a lack of practical skills. Schools should offer more career-focused courses and internship opportunities to help students discover potential careers and gain experience. They must also improve career centers to better assist students with job searching, resume writing, and interview skills. Doing so would help ensure students obtain jobs requiring their degree level upon graduation.
The document is a report from IntelliResponse that analyzes questions asked by students at higher education institutions to identify key trends. It finds that students primarily ask questions online related to academics, administration, financial aid, and IT help. Prospective students ask about programs, costs, requirements and the application process. Current students ask mostly about administrative issues. Those concerned with financial aid ask about costs, application processes and available aid. IT questions focus on passwords, login issues, and accessing portals and software. The report concludes institutions should provide accurate self-serve information and virtual agents to improve the online student experience.

2. The fight for students is well and truly on.
Post-secondary enrollment decreased by 4.1% in spring 2022 compared
to spring 2021 in the US. Across the past two years, the picture is even
more bleak – enrollment declined by 7.4% from spring 2020 to spring
2022. These figures are intensifying what was already an incredibly
competitive market.
To grab the attention and engagement of today’s student population,
universities and colleges must adopt new strategies that put students
front and center. They must cater to their behaviors, expectations, and
needs as closely as possible, providing them with a customer experience
(CX) that mirrors the experience that students enjoy from B2C brands.
Here are 4 key strategies that any university or college can adopt to
help them reverse enrollment decline and increase intake this fall.

Increase Enrollment this Fall

3. Every university and college know
that intake figures rely heavily on
student engagement.
If a school can connect with a prospective student and better
still, build a relationship with them, they have a far higher
chance of becoming their chosen school.
Live chat is the perfect strategy to support this goal because it
is the preferred channel for students to engage with schools.
Many support teams still rely on telephone and email to
answer prospective students’ queries, but these channels can’t
deliver on the expectations of today’s students.
1. Make live chat your number
one support channel
4. 72% of Gen Z expect to interact with
someone immediately when they
reach out for support.
79% prefer live chat over any
other channel.
Why aren’t they
replying...?
Grown up surrounded by technology and spending much of their
waking day online, students want to connect digitally. 52% of
Millennials say they feel anxious about taking a phone call and
60% of Gen Z say they ‘hate calling people’. In contrast, live chat
caters to students’ behaviors and digital expectations. Support
via live chat is convenient, fast, and personalized – everything a
student wants from any organization they interact with.

If you’re only offering phone and email support, your aren’t providing
your students with the experience they need and expect, and this could
damage everything from enrollment to drop-out rates.”
“The traditional way of
communicating over just
phone and email has become
antiquated, especially within
higher education.
6. Live chat is the best channel to connect with
prospective students, but few colleges can afford
to provide this support 24/7. However, the
problem is, students now expect this level of
support. Students expect to be able to get
answers to their questions when it suits them, not
when it suits the school’s working hours.
A chatbot is the perfect answer to this
expectation. When a team is offline, universities
can provide support to prospective students no
matter the time. As well as increasing the
opportunity to engage, it also shows a willingness
and commitment from the school to support its
students, no matter what.
2. Offer 24/7 chatbot support

7. By utilizing NPL, AI chatbots can understand the user’s intentions and so
answer more questions in more natural conversation. AI chatbots can handle
over 80% of chats when built well. Chatbots are most commonly used within
admissions to:
• Answer prospective students’ common FAQs
• Capture visitor details for lead generation
• Reassure students through the admissions process so they complete sign-up
• Provide 24/7 support to international students in different time zones.
Gen Z are most open to chatbots than any other demographic and are most
likely to agree that bots make it quicker for their issues to be resolved.

crucial - and Comm100
chatbot delivered on this.
9. In 2020, Cambrian College’s recruitment department offered only email
and phone support to prospective students. The unpopularity of these
channels was causing a significant barrier to engagement and damaging
intake to their college.
Live chat was identified as a cost-effective and secure solution to this chal-
lenge, so they set up Comm100 Live Chat. Owing to the popularity of live
chat with students, Cambrian College has increased engagement with pro-
spective students and begun increasing admissions.
After great success with Comm100 Live Chat, Cambrian College added
Comm100 Chatbot to boost engagement even further with 24/7 support.
They recognized that many of their students wanted to connect during
out of office hours, particularly international students in other time zones.
With a chatbot in place, Cambrian now delivers around-the-clock support
to every prospective student, helping their recruitment efforts.

how we wanted our bot to perform, and quickly making improvements
based on these suggestions. We still meet regularly to make
improvements.”
“Neither me nor our digital

11. Today’s students expect colleges to
be available to them wherever and
whenever they need support – on
their terms, not the school’s.
In day-to-day life, this means that students want the choice to
connect with schools on the channels that they prefer,
whether this be live chat, email, social media or phone.
To provide this choice while keeping organized, efficient and
cost-effective, colleges must adopt omnichannel student
engagement. These platforms connect every digital channel
together within one console, together with the conversations
and information within them across every department and
team. With this information at hand, agents have a clear image
of the student, empowering them to provide faster, more
helpful and more personalized support.
3. Connect with students
where they hang out
12. Some people want to reach out via live chat, some social
media, and others via email. The beauty of Comm100 is
that every channel can be connected into one platform
so we can connect with and support more students,
more efficiently.”

“Everybody has their
preferred way of
communicating.

Omnichannel student engagement is not just about
making sure you’re on the latest channel.
Instead, omnichannel represents a big-picture shift in how
higher education works and what students want in today’s
digital-first world. It’s about how seamless experiences,
not channels, are changing the entire student support
experience, from the front desk to the backend.

4. Look to social media as a
key engagement channel
Almost every university and college in the US has at
least one social media account which they
predominantly use to advertise their school, keep
students informed, and promote their values.
However, far fewer schools are using these same social
media platforms as support channels to answer
prospective student queries – despite the fact that it’s
a highly effective channel for this and can help to
increase intake.
While live chat is the most popular channel for
prospective students to get support, they also want to
reach out via social media too. By offering social media
as a support channel, institutions can connect with
students on the channels that they use most – be that
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WeChat, or WhatsApp.
14. To resolve this, adopt an
omnichannel student
engagement platform
that connects every social
media account (and every
other channel) into one
agent console.
Supporting students across the various social platforms can
spread resources thin and risk incoming requests falling
through the cracks.
15. Respond to students on
their terms!
Be more responsive to
inquiries by connecting
all your digital channels.
Institutions need to work harder to attract students, making
digital engagement platforms like Comm100 more necessary
than ever before. Find out how you can adopt Comm100’s
engagement platform – live chat, chatbot, social media, and
knowledge base - to increase enrollment.
