After getting a sense of UCCS Admissions Connect offerings including three available student journeys, determine which is a good starting place for your needs. Fill-out a brief document and initiate a kick-off meeting.
Kick-Off Meeting
Kick-Off Meeting
Department + UIS
- Discuss content template
- Establish timeline
- Define audience segment / review CRM
- Content strategy/analysis
- What email template and content blocks will be used (email design)
Kicking off the initial Journey will be a group effort:
- Short-term, those with a request will need to identify individuals in their unit to get access and trained to manage prospective student data (required to launch the automation and track student engagement and enrollment as they move along the journey).
- The Journey launch timeline will be dependent on those identified becoming familiar with their roles (among other things).
- Longer-term, those with additional Journey requests can take on more responsibility.
