Electronic Agreements
Our school is moving over to electronic enrollment agreements. Does anyone have any feedback on these? Do they speed things up, are the to esoteric and time consuming, things like that.
Our school has started utilizing Electronic Enrollment agreements, and I believe it will speed up the paperwork shuffle immensely. It is my hope that we can make electronic PDF's of the other admissions paperwork to make everything move as smoothly.
Yes we use Docusign. Some advice I would provide would be walking the student through EACH and EVERY form as though you are completing it side by side. Many students feel overwellmed if this is not carried out as a best practice.
Our school is using a process called Docusign which is a form of electronic agreement. It has been a fantastic opportunity for students who may have transportation issue, disabilities,ect. that would make it challanging to get to campus. It can be either a short or long process it really depends on the student.
Completing EAs electronically is so efficient. It cuts down on time, allowing us to type all of the demographic information (and required program information) into the EA versus writing it ourselves. Then, our potential student can electronically sign the EA by clicking a box and then clicking on enter. Then, we print a copy of it for our student, our campus student file (and for ourselves, if we are wise). It is so much easier than the old days. Lynda
Our school is online and on-ground. I work as an online admissions representative and our EA is online. It is a very expeditious process and allows the student to use an electronic signature. Also, It has proven to be more accurate than those of our on-ground students which usually have an error or two on the form.
Online agreements actually help to speed up the proces of enrollment and do not take that long to complete.
Our school is 100% online and does have electronic enrollment agreements. It does speed things up and automatically emails them a copy of the EA. It's a nice system to fulfill our obligation to give them one.
