Prospective students and learners expect their higher education journey to include a connected, online experience. It's no longer acceptable to rely on phone or postal mail to collect important application information. Faculty and staff need a complete picture of the learners that they work with—no more data siloed across departments! Education Cloud is here to help your institution function seamlessly in the 21st century.

The heart of the recruitment and admissions experience in Education Cloud is an online portal which lets learners:

- Request information
- Apply for admission
- Upload admissions documents
- Schedule appointments with support staff

The learner portal collects information from prospective students and records it in Salesforce. But as every recruiter or admissions officer knows, there are a lot of interactions and documents to manage. Recruiting and Admissions Consoles are here to help. These consoles are your one-stop shop for managing your work and tracking your progress.

Here are some ways in which the Recruitment & Admissions consoles help your faculty and staff:

- Admissions officers can see a single, home page view of their assigned applications.
- Recruiters can create and manage appointments with students.
- Admissions directors can create lists of prospects and assign them to recruiters.
- Recruiters can respond to and manage prospective students' requests for information.
- Directors can track progress toward goals with a variety of KPIs reports.
- Staff can check off tasks and plan work with a simple and intuitive interface.

They can view and schedule appointments, and if you set up the virtual appointments feature, they can also join virtually. Your staff can also schedule appointments on behalf of learners from their records. Unifying all departments on a single scheduling tool increases your learners' ability to use all of your services.")
