Slate Enrollment Management Project
TU is integrating Slate into its undergraduate and graduate Admissions marketing, recruitment, processing and application review management. Slate will serve as a single enrollment platform for all admissions communications and processes for prospective students. The platform will work in conjunction with Salesforce and PeopleSoft to optimize the student enrollment experience.
Benefits
- A user-friendly interface to better serve prospective students throughout the entire admissions process
- More streamlined, personalized outreach and communications
- Robust reporting and data analysis to provide more relevant information to students
- Process and review applications in a more efficient, organized, and timely manner so students get decisions faster
Project Impacts
For most of campus, there will be little to no change in day-to-day roles or responsibilities. Campus partners who manage recruitment or enrollment efforts will benefit from Slate and will receive direct communications with potential impacts and instructions.
Timeline
The Slate project is a collaboration between University Admissions, OTS and Enrollment Management. The initial implementation will prioritize all undergraduate enrollment processes first for freshmen and then transfer students. After successfully transitioning these undergraduate student groups, additional work will begin to create a graduate student instance of Slate.
