Enhancing the Student Experience Through Enrollment Growth and Student Support

II. Enhancing the Student Experience Through Enrollment Growth and Student Support

Create a campus culture of all personnel as new student recruiters by:

enhancing relationships between Office of Admissions and faculty for targeted program recruiting events and contact with prospective students;
developing enrollment pipelines with alumni and friends in churches, with high school counselors, and with local educators;
connecting prospective students with current students at recruiting events;
emphasizing the value of Christ-centered education at HPU;
developing enrollment goals by program along with a readily available tool for up-to-date status on recruiting numbers; and
increasing scholarships for new students so all academic departments have at least one scholarship for prospective students.

Create a campus culture that re-recruits current students by:

developing a culture of student-centered support with all campus offices by reviewing processes and systems from a student perspective and making changes for greater efficiency and service to students;
increasing scholarships for returning students;
developing a student advisory council to advise faculty and staff on retention-related matters;
creating an exit interview process for students who leave the University prior to graduation and sharing results with faculty and staff; and
providing more counseling opportunities for students.
