Typical Student Support Problems
• Tracking Student Support:
• Institutions have no way of managing student interaction effectively or efficiently and no
audit trail of contacts between staff and students.
• Information and Communications
• Staff give inconsistent and out of date information to students. No common standards exist
between different support teams and departments. Students need to contact different
offices and can only get information 9 -5.
• Student Case Management
• There is no overview of the welfare of the student. Teams have their own systems with no
integration with the student information system
• Appointments
• Teams manage their own appointment systems in several 3rd party solutions even though
they often share rooms with other services.
• Queue Management
• Students queue for all sorts of interactions – and while queuing tweet (etc.) of their poor
experience.

Tribal Student Support - Solutions
Student Query Management
Edge Student Support automatically allocates and tracks all Customer enquiries for any
number of customer roles such as Course Enquirer, Applicant, Student, Alumni, Academic or
Staff Administrator across multiple departments.
Frequently Asked Questions
An online searchable knowledgebase of FAQs can be used as both a self-service facility by
students to get the quickest responses to the queries, or by front-line staff dealing directly
with student enquiries via phone, email or face-to-face.
Support Appointment Management
Customers can be booked on to service appointments with Advisors or Counsellors in any
number of specialists teams.
Private Case Notes
These teams can build private Case Notes concerning the welfare of each student.
Queue Management
A Queue Management System ensures students are dealt with effectively and efficiently and
allows students to go for a coffee and receive a text when they are near the top of the
queue

Holistic View of all Student Support Interactions
If a student has an issue, a member of staff will treat them completely differently if they can see
the other issues the student has raised rather than dealing with this one issue

Editor's Notes

  • #12  Spiel: At Tribal we’ve developed a series of integrated tools to help you better Collaborate, Engage and Support your students in a way that meets your student’s needs. Our private social network integrates with our student information systems to provide a seamless experience. We have built a system that allows you to put the student at the heart of your communication strategy. From improving engagement with class activities, to supporting real-time, relevant interaction through an app, your students will get the support they need and your organisation can work as efficiently as possible. From recruitment through to employment, we can provide you with a single view of all your communication with a student so that you can increase their engagement, retention and success and ultimately, improve your revenue and targets. With Tribal’s help, we can work together to get your student’s where they want to be.
