ROI & Impact
International Admissions is a big source of revenue for Universities in North America.
Crandall University has experienced huge benefits in this department after transitioning to the RIO Education Platform.
"Previously we had to manually enter each applicant's application and upload all of their files which would take about 45 minutes. Now the agencies have their own login and the applicants are automatically entered. This is a huge time saving for both us at Crandall and for the agencies." - Tyler Steckly, Director of International Admissions
RIO Education has contributed to over a 50% increase in processing International Applications.
It is so wonderful to experience strides like these with our RIO customers.
"Response time is the name of the game in international admissions. It is industry standard to have a 3-6 weeks response time for international applicants. With RIO Education, our response time has decreased to 7-10 days." - Tyler Steckly, Director of International Admissions
International Admissions
Crandall University uses Agents to support their international applicants and recruitment efforts.
With RIO Education, they are better able to manage their application funnel.
