Education

Enrolment is a family decision, not a form.

Admissions, enrolment and the first term run across parents, students and faculty. René maps all three as one journey with the handoffs visible.

The problem

Two people live the journey and only one of them is surveyed.

The student experiences the programme and the parent experiences the administration. Satisfaction is collected from one of them, usually late, and usually about teaching rather than the process that nearly lost them.

Parent and student journeys measured separately, if at all
Programme choice presented as a catalogue rather than a decision
Enrolment paperwork owned by four departments and no one

“I held the offer for three weeks and still did not know what I was supposed to do next. I accepted somewhere that told me.”

Applicant survey, undergraduate intake · offer stage

The operational fact

Offer-to-enrolment conversion is determined largely by the clarity and pace of communication after the offer is made, not by the terms of the offer itself.

What it costs to leave alone

The case for acting now

01A cohort lost after you paid for itRecruitment spend is committed at enquiry. An applicant lost after the offer has cost the full acquisition and delivered no tuition.

02Withdrawal in the first termA confused enrolment predicts an early exit, which costs the institution more than the place was ever worth.

03Reputation carried by applicantsApplicants compare institutions on how they were treated while deciding, and they say so publicly and permanently.

Questions we get asked

Journeys are versioned per intake, so this year is compared to the same week last year rather than to an average.
