Microdea’s Synergize for Graduate Admissions enables higher education institutions to have quick access to complete student information and automatically route documents with electronic workflow. This effectively streamlines the admissions process and ensures the most desirable student candidates are targeted for enrollment.
The graduate admission process is complex with multi stake holder/reviewers involved across many departments. Further complicating this process are time-consuming and labour-intensive paper-based systems, which hinder admissions staff from tracking documents, knowing the status of applications, and efficiently processing applicant packets. Approving and enrolling the best students promptly is crucial in order to acquire potential future revenue from research grants and enhance the notoriety of the higher education institution.
Synergize for Graduate Admissions electronically stores all applicant information in a secure, central repository that is easily accessible to authorized users across all relevant departments. This assists admissions counselors and other staff to better manage applicant information, always be aware of an application’s status, and help advance the admissions process. Synergize also integrates with existing Student Information Systems (SIS) to ensure high end-user adoption as student data is viewable from a familiar interface.
Workflow automatically routes all of the appropriate documents to the suitable personnel and notifies them with automatic email alerts. This enables staff across multiple departments to collaborate and effectively streamline the admissions evaluation process, thereby improving service levels and increasing the likelihood of enrolling the most desirable student candidates.
