Datatel®, Inc. today announced that several institutions have chosen its ActiveAdmissions and Web site design solutions to provide prospective students with personalized Web experiences, online applications, and easy-to-use enrollment processes.
San Francisco Art Institute purchased ActiveAdmissions in order to provide a powerful e-recruiting tool and enrollment features for its prospective students and parents. Laramie County Community College, Montgomery County Community College, and Northern Wyoming Community College District chose ActiveAdmissions Community College Edition to increase Web site usability, provide online applications, and offer personalized contact with prospective students.
“We are very excited about implementing ActiveAdmissions at Laramie County Community College (LCCC),” said Michael Walters, vice president of information technology and chief information officer at LCCC. “The online personalization ActiveAdmissions offers will give LCCC an advantage in recruiting prospective students.”
“The push for ActiveAdmissions is definitely a step toward capturing more prospective students through an inviting and easy-to-use application process,” said Brady Fackrell, information systems manager at Northern Wyoming Community College District.
“Our Web site is a critical recruitment tool, and we realized that a dynamic redesign was necessary to help attract new students to Montgomery County Community College,” said Celeste Schwartz, vice president of information technology at Montgomery County Community College. “Restructuring our Web site and providing targeted and personalized messaging are several of the features we look forward to benefiting from by implementing the ActiveAdmissions Community College Edition.”
“Providing a personalized and interactive Web site is essential for recruiting students,” said Bill Knight, Datatel’s vice president of sales.
