Most importantly, he met each of us "where we are," whether a PCO leader who is very comfortable with budgets or a leader who is new to the financial aspects of their role. I appreciated the respect he demonstrated to each of us by doing so."
"The examples of budgets and program planning were so beneficial to me. The readings for course budgeting were insightful and helpful too!"
"Overall, this course was exceptionally run and the material was relevant to the struggles we're facing right now. I speak for my colleagues in saying that we enjoyed this course so much, we are sending 3 additional people to the course."
"Gary is so knowledgeable about this field and provided valuable practical tools and templates. The course was focused, with clear learning objectives and assignments that aligned to those objectives."
"I have been asking for this the contents of this very course for 5 years and couldn't find anything remotely relevant. Thank you for this! His book is now my bible."

Course Description
Enrollment management begins when a prospective student inquires and continues to when they are successfully enrolled. It includes all that we do, or should do, as institutions to help prospective students along this journey and to achieve our enrollment goals. This course reviews the steps in the student enrollment journey and analyzes the important activities necessary at each stage including responding to inquiries, admitting new students, staying in touch before the program begins, and onboarding new students to help them anticipate and adjust to their new program. This course will delve into the professional opportunity and responsibility we have to generate new enrollments for our institutions including building the human and technology infrastructure to support the student journey; communication strategies; and the measurement, oversight, and accountability necessary to ensure a seamless and successful process. We will examine enrollment management in both credit-bearing and noncredit programs and across the spectrum of online and continuing professional education strategies, structures, and practices.
*This course picks up the enrollment management process after initial inquiry.

Course Description
Enrollment management begins when a prospective student inquires and continues to when they are successfully enrolled. It includes all that we do, or should do, as institutions to help prospective students along this journey and to achieve our enrollment goals. This course reviews the steps in the student enrollment journey and analyzes the important activities necessary at each stage including responding to inquiries, admitting new students, staying in touch before the program begins, and onboarding new students to help them anticipate and adjust to their new program. This course will delve into the professional opportunity and responsibility we have to generate new enrollments for our institutions including building the human and technology infrastructure to support the student journey; communication strategies; and the measurement, oversight, and accountability necessary to ensure a seamless and successful process. We will examine enrollment management in both credit-bearing and noncredit programs and across the spectrum of online and continuing professional education strategies, structures, and practices.
