Enrollment and program questions
Answer prospective and current students’ routine questions about programs, dates, fees and requirements from approved program information, with the source shown, and route anything personal or unclear to admissions or student services staff.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A student, parent or applicant asks a question through the website, email or a student portal.
How it runs today
- Admissions and student services answer the same questions every day.
- Replies vary by staff member and can quote out-of-date information.
- Questions arriving after hours wait until the next working day.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Collect
Gather approved program pages, calendars, fee schedules and policies, each with an owner.
- 02 / Answer
Answer routine questions from those sources only, showing where each answer came from.
- 03 / Route
Send personal, financial-aid, disability or unclear questions straight to the right staff team.
- 04 / Review
Staff review a sample of answers each week and update sources that caused wrong or missing answers.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- Admissions and financial-aid decisions are made only by staff.
- Questions about individual circumstances always go to a person.
- Every source document has an owner who keeps it current.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Share of routine questions answered from approved sources.
Time to first response, including after hours.
Answers corrected in weekly review.
