Comprehensive Enrollment Optimization

Sometimes incremental improvements simply aren’t enough. Leadership transition, staff turnover, competitive vulnerability, sudden opportunities, and other factors can engender the need for quick repositioning, dramatic overhaul, or even complete turnaround in admissions operations.

If now is the time to raise the bar and replace standard operating procedures with best practices, Hardwick-Day can help. In a comprehensive engagement, Hardwick-Day principals first conduct a thorough assessment of both admissions and financial aid operations. Then, working closely with college staff, they address, as needed:

• Geodemographic conversion analysis;
• Recruitment planning;
• Recruitment tracking information system effectiveness;
• Financial aid optimization;
• Staff development; and
• Prioritizing use of resources.

This engagement is comprehensive not only in scope, but also in that the firm remains involved through:

• Assessment and recommendations;
• Implementation;
• Measurement of results; and
• Training staff to run the program.
