“We pretty much doubled our deposits this fall from last year.
I see the quick turnaround as really paying off.”

The challenge

The first answer was the slowest.

A prospective transfer student wants to know how their credits will apply. At Ursinus that answer took a manual review, and students weighing several institutions were deciding faster than the team could respond.

Students who had not yet applied could not get an answer at all.

3new articulation agreements in the same cycle

The solution

An answer before they apply.

Ursinus put DegreeSight Inbound on its own website, integrated with Slate and surfaced in every transfer applicant’s portal.

Students get a preliminary credit answer up front, and every use lands in Slate as a tracked lead the team can follow up the same week.

Transfer enrollment is up more than half year over year, with applications also trending up. 113 submissions processed since go-live.

The partner-campus play: Every new articulation agreement ships with a slide for the partner campus rotating screens, carrying a QR code that opens the Ursinus credit calculator.
