Workday Delivers Student Admissions - Seite 2

Quickly Evaluate Student Eligibility: Colleges and universities are able to automatically assign applicant rating values based on different categories including readiness, demonstrated interest, and applicant interviews. For example, an applicant could be evaluated and given a score based on grades in prerequisite coursework, standardized test scores, and interactions with the school that were documented early in the process through Workday Student Recruiting. 

Accurately Communicate and Convey Admissions Updates: Higher education institutions can communicate ongoing admissions updates and decisions individually or in a group. Institutions can set multiple safeguards to help ensure every applicant is notified of the correct admission decision electronically or via mail. Additionally, applicants can leverage an external website to view the status of outstanding items related to their application. For example, an applicant could be admitted with conditions and notified of additional coursework that must be completed in order to be admitted.

Better Align Admissions Goals to Performance: Unified with Workday HCM, Workday Student Admissions helps establish and assess organizational goals in the system, and track admission counselor performance appraisals against admissions goals. For example, a director of admissions can determine admissions targets for a team in Workday HCM and track against those goals -- all in one system.
