6 Reasons College Admissions Need OnBase
This time every year the Admissions’ staffs are frantically reviewing and processing thousands of applications. Their struggle with paper is slowing the review process and making it difficult to serve customers well.
How can OnBase help?
If an applicant or parent calls to ask a question or to know if a document was received instead of weeks or days before the question can be answered, support staff can pull up 
documents in minutes, answering inquiries immediately when someone calls.
Sending paper application files through reviews can be slow especially if you have to wait for approvals while someone is out of the office. Now, they can be reviewed on the road or at home and are automatically routed electronically to the next person.
- Reduces Space Constraints
Paper files take up an incredible amount of storage and many universities are simply running out of space. By importing documents electronically and scanning any paper received, valuable space is freed up.
At peak processing times Admission’s staff need to work overtime to handle the processing of paper files. With OnBase, files are completed and routed faster, more efficiently and with fewer mistakes, saving additional overtime costs.
- Compete for Best – Fit Students
By electronically completing and reviewing applications with OnBase Admissions Counselors can prioritize which files to read first, focusing on specific areas of need. Admissions can work on yielding the best candidate before the competition, making it more likely they will enroll with your institution.

- Savings on paper, file folders, file cabinets, and storage space
- Reduced overtime costs
