Boston University Streamlines Financial Aid Process Using Online Application Evaluation System

At Boston University School of Social Work, the Admit application review system has been working well for paperless evaluations.  And now the school has integrated its financial aid workflow into the application review process by configuring Admit to automatically identify students requesting or qualifying for financial aid, grants or scholarships.  Admit then allows the School of Social Work to send financial aid letters along with decision letters, eliminating a redundant administrative step, and providing applicants more timely information.  This creative implementation of Admit also improves efficiency by storing financial aid history for each applicant.

Georgetown University Dean of Admissions Comments on CollegeNET's Online Admissions System

"We've had our best early action season ever, thanks to CollegeNET's online application system. The system has vastly improved efficiency while allowing us control over the format and content of our application. We believe the information we're able to gather gives us a more holistic view of the individual applicant and helps us identify the candidates who are a best-fit for Georgetown. Most of all, the CollegeNET system has  given us control over our own process, the importance of which cannot be emphasized enough in this college admissions cycle so beset by problems beyond the control of the individual college"  -- Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions, Georgetown University

Emory Says Video Interviews Add Valuable Information to Decision Process

Emory University Laney Graduate School in Atlanta, Georgia, is now using the Admit Video Interview tool to screen applicants for in-person interviews.  This Web-based service from CollegeNET makes it possible for all applicants to be seen and heard, even when an in-person interview isn’t possible. Interviews can be recorded and reviewed anytime, without appointments or student travel.  Video Interview saves scheduling time and minimizes losses due to missed interview appointments.

“Video Interview gives us valuable information about applicants that can’t be captured in an application.  It’s especially useful for international students, who don’t have the option of in-person interviews.” -- Ulf Nilsson, Assistant Dean of Operations, Laney Graduate School, Emory University

Lane Community College Uses a Single Web-based System to Manage Event Scheduling, Resources and Automated Lighting

Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, has had great success reducing energy use and costs by integrating their timed lighting system with their online scheduling system. Lane worked with its lighting vendor to integrate the school’s stadium and athletic field lighting with its 25Live® Web-based scheduling system. Lane’s event schedulers can now set timed lighting schedules, along with event space and equipment, all at one time and in one system. This saves labor, in addition to energy costs. And, in Lane’s case, it also helped boost revenue by allowing the school to host – and charge for – events for outside organizations.

“By building lighting scheduling into 25Live, we’ve eliminated double entry scheduling and increased energy efficiency without having to purchase new equipment.” 

-- Alen Bahret, IT Programmer/Analyst, Lane Community College
