Four Key Shifts in the Enrollment Market

With solutions for your enrollment strategy

Market Shift #1: Online Search Tools Are Reshaping Student Behavior 

Students today rely on the web for most things—and their college search is no different. The market has shifted in a significant way. Before contacting you directly, students use online college search tools like BigFuture® to research and show organic interest in your institution. To increase your chances of enrolling these students, you must engage them while they’re actively raising their hands online. 

Our Solution: Interest in My College (IMC)
With a feature called Interest in My College (IMC), you can find students who've added your organization to their BigFuture college list and engage them at the best time—while they're showing interest. Because these students are qualified, organic leads, they're 10 times more likely to apply. All College Board Access Plans come equipped with IMC at no additional cost.
