Learn More ConnectEDU's college products include a variety of tools that use real student data to solve real efficiency problems in college recruiting, application processing, and records exchange. Below is a list of the products available to colleges. Read on to learn more: StudentRecruit: Enrollment Marketing The college admissions process can be inefficient and expensive. StudentRecruit takes the guesswork out of college admissions and provides admissions professionals and enrollment marketers with the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students, from initial inquiry to application and enrollment. SuperAPP: College Application Processing As more students apply to a greater number of colleges, admissions offices lack a simple way to process or validate the incoming information. ConnectEDU's SuperAPP provides colleges with an electronic, easy-to-use application processing product. SuperAPP makes it easier and more efficient for students to apply to the colleges of their choice using the colleges’ exact admissions applications, and counselors are alerted to send transcripts when SuperAPP verifies that the application is completed. RecordExchange: Electronic Student Records and Transmission Without requiring any installation of complex print drivers or software, RecordExchange provides colleges with easy-to-use, easy-to-implement tools to transfer student records electronically to other colleges, community colleges, employers, the students themselves, and other qualified recipients.
