The Admissions team had a very successful season of events. Analysis of our data clearly shows that students who visit are far more likely to enroll. If you take all the attendees from our admitted student sessions, 76% plus have chosen to enroll at Vermont State. Thank you all for your efforts to make these events a success. New student numbers are trending behind last year, but we continue to see healthy numbers of new applicants who are serious about attending in the fall. Below is a summary of our campus visits:
- 5 Open Houses
- 11 Admitted Student Sessions
- 15 Saturday Information Session
- 30 School Groups
- Several Virtual Sessions
A few other noteworthy updates:
- Summer is going to be very busy, and there are a lot of upcoming opportunities to visit our campuses.
- The admissions team is working collaboratively with the student success team to launch the VTSU new student onboarding process. Communications will be sent out to all new students in the coming weeks. A reminder that the next steps for new students can be found on our website.
- The financial aid team is successfully sending out financial aid offers to returning students and continues to process new student offers on an ongoing basis. This is another significant VTSU milestone and a huge accomplishment for this team.
- The admissions and registrars’ teams are in the final stages of communicating transfer credit evaluations to incoming transfer students. This has been a very challenging project and a true team effort.
- The VTSU microsite continues to evolve and includes more academic program details every day. The team is working incredibly hard on new content, and we appreciate everyone’s patience. With the new content, the microsite will continue to serve the needs of VTSU through the launch of the university this Fall. Over the summer, the Marketing Team is continuing to work on the fully expanded VTSU website with additional functionality which will launch in October at the beginning of the 2024 admissions cycle.
