I participated in a webinar on Friday and the feedback was clear: colleges aren’t enforcing the enrollment deadlines this year. Why? The enrollments just aren’t there. So, the May 1st deadline is getting pushed back.
Is this happening to you? Not good news, sure, but let’s focus on what we CAN control. And that, my friends, is summer melt.

Don’t focus on the negatives. Focus on your next steps. What are you doing to keep your incoming class engaged throughout the summer? Maybe it’s time to offer some more events on campus. If those events give the kids an opportunity to earn a few college credits…even better.

What else is happening out there in Admissions-land? Any tips for our readers?
