What Are People Saying About NRCCUA?

GROVE CITY COLLEGE ABOUT: DECLARED STUDENT CONNECTION
NRCCUA’s “Declared Student Connection” gives me immediate access to college-bound high school students who have indicated that our institution is one of their top choices.  This gives me a distinct advantage - because today’s kids don’t always let the “school” know we’re on their list.  I’m amazed at my results:  out of 357 names provided, 16.5 percent converted to apps, with an admit rate of  73 percent – and of that – we ended up with an enrollment/deposit rate of 60 percent.   These are powerful numbers and this program will be a standard part of my recruitment plan every year.

HOLY NAMES UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
We only have the resources for a very limited and targeted student search. Over the years we've narrowed it down exclusively to NRCCUA for our 10th and 11th grade searches as it has proven the most successful in terms of prospect to enrolled conversion.

Brian O'Rourke
Dean of Admissions and Recruitment
Holy Names University

WILLIAM WOODS UNIVERSITY ABOUT: MY COLLEGE OPTIONS® OUTREACH AND INSTANT RESPONSE
NRCCUA has been a tremendous asset to William Woods University. After switching from another search list vendor this past year, we already have more inquires and have received more applications to date than in previous years. In addition to purchasing names, we also participated in their My College Options “Outreach” program which only added to my satisfaction. We were able to touch a targeted group of students earlier than we typically do and most importantly, NRCCUA did all of the work on our behalf – even following up on every student response. Finally, my Enrollment Consultant is always available to assist our office. She is constantly looking for innovative, new ideas to assist our marketing efforts. I consider her part of our team, which is a value add for our office!

BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC ABOUT: NRCCUA
Working for an institution with specific niche requirements of our applicant pool, I have found the NRCCUA to be an excellent resource for our student search campaigns, benefiting both our feeder and full-time programs. With an incredibly approachable and knowledgeable sales staff pulled from top higher education professionals, working to achieve the goals of our institution has become a streamlined process. I am confident the NRCCUA will be at the cutting edge of innovative approaches to communicating and selecting the highest-quality candidates, backed by an excellent customer service staff to ensure any questions or inquiries are answered completely and thoroughly. When you are the world's premier institution for the study of contemporary music, you expect the highest-quality applicants. NRCCUA has delivered and continues to deliver that to us.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY ABOUT: NRCCUA
NRCCUA is a great company to work with to identify prospective students to meet enrollment goals. Our institution does utilize other companies to identify talent besides NRCCUA but the relationship doesn't go much further than a username and password. However, our NRCCUA Enrollment Consultant, Karen Myhre, works individually with us to create prospective students lists whenever we need them, she advocates to enhance the NRCCUA product with features that we specifically ask for, and she has even visited our campus twice this past year to discuss our NRCCUA account, products, and other services that could help us meet enrollment goals. I highly recommend other universities to use the NRCCUA TIP service because of the quality of this lists, pricing, and the information they provide about student interests and academic preparation.

University of Kentucky

BLUEFIELD COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
The thing I have been impressed with is how my Enrollment Consultant, Karen Myhre has been at my beck and call when I have questions and concerns. You all are a large company and that kind of customer service is usually reserved for the smaller companies. I appreciate the great service along with your wonderful programs. The Talent Identification Program® allows us to select students by the criteria we deem important. Karen's help in running multiple lists to help us determine that perfect profile has been invaluable.

THE CITADEL ABOUT: NRCCUA
We have used the NRCCUA Talent Identification Program for over 15 years and consider it one of our primary sources of prospective students. With the ability to be very specific in the students' interest and goals as we develop our search parameters, we are able to realize a strong return on our initial contacts. We could not ask for stronger customer service. Our sales consultant, Randy Condit, is always available and tuned in to our specific needs. NRCCUA's services have directly assisted our ability to meet our enrollment goals.

BALDWIN WALLACE ABOUT: SMART APPROACH
I have to say, going in I was a bit skeptical about whether or not the SMART Approach program would be a good fit for us, but the results have won me over. This program made our list selection and purchase a piece of cake, by identifying prospects with the highest likelihood to enroll. What’s even better is that I’m able to preview and analyze their enrollment probability scores PRIOR to our list purchase, so I can target the students within scores best suited for each search segment. This has not only reduced waste, but my results have steadily improved. Yes, we renewed and are onboard for another two-years!

EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
We have consistently had excellent results from the searches we conduct with names purchased through NRCCUA's Talent Identification Program. I credit a great deal of our success to the insight that our representative consultant, Mary Napier, provides. She understands Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and together we have been able to strategically approach identifying those students who may have an interest in our programs. The "R" for research is not just part of their name, it is what they do for us and it is what sets them apart from any of the other sources from which we could purchase search names.

Director Admissions Operations
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
We are very excited about the NRCCUA's new Declared Student Connection - because we're receiving complete profile information on grade 9-12 students who have already indicated (through My College Options) that High Point University is one of their top choices for college. This program fits very well with our goals of reaching out early to students who already have an interest and would like to explore opportunities at HPU.

Andy Bills,
Vice President of Enrollment
High Point University

DOMINICAN UNIVERSITY ABOUT: LEGACY STUDENT LOCATOR
NRCCUA has been a valuable partner in building our prospect pool. We used the database matching service to find more legacy students, did a targeted senior search to increase our African American prospects and now have great results from our 2008 & 2009 search mailing.

Pamela Johnson
Vice President of Enrollment Management
Dominican University

RIVIER COLLEGE ABOUT: LEGACY STUDENT LOCATOR
As an admissions and enrollment professional for the last thirty years it is refreshing to know of a company that stays ahead of the curve.

One such program is their unique 'LEGACY STUDENT LOCATOR' that pinpoints children of trustees, faculty, and friends.

LINFIELD COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
On behalf of Linfield College in Oregon, I have been working with NRCCUA for countless years. I consider our enrollment consultant, Dwayne Smith, as a professional guide, enrollment mentor and professional colleague-friend. He is always available to assist Linfield in seeking the best ways to fulfill our enrollment goals. Additionally, he understands Linfield and is respectful of our needs - he doesn't try to "sell" me products that aren't appropriate to our admission program. Currently, we use the Talent Identification Program® as part of our search efforts, My College Options® Outreach Program, My College Options® Matched and Declared Student Connection, eProspector™, and the Enrollment Power Index®. I have been very satisfied with these products. I would be happy to discuss my experiences with these products with other admission/enrollment managers.

EVANGEL UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
I have found NRCCUA to be the most progressive company in helping identify quality prospects for our university. I appreciate their strategic approach in helping higher ed institutions grow their enrollment.

Jeff Burnett
Director of Admissions

UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS ABOUT:SMART APPROACH
The SMART Approach® has saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless time and effort over the last four years.  For the price of one student’s annual tuition, it has transformed our search strategy into a well-oiled machine.  Most importantly, I’m convinced that without its institution-specific algorithm for NRCCUA® name purchases, we would have fallen significantly short of our enrollment goals.  It’s a mystery to me why using the SMART Approach is not standard practice for every admissions operation in America!

VIRGINA TECH CORPS OF CADETS ABOUT: NRCCUA
As a senior military college, we've been faced with a tough recruiting market, but we've used both the cost-saving eProspector email service and the broader reach of the College-Bound Outreach Deck to help us increase our applications by 50%! Facing a tightened budget going forward, we're going to be relying on these services to reach out to the students we may not have found otherwise.

PEACE COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
NRCCUA's new State/Regional Outreach program delivers a real advantage in my recruitment. Not only does it include a home delivered four color message to college bound juniors and sophomores in my home state and surrounding regions it stays in contact with those same students every month for 12 months with reminders and web links that showcase our college and offerings on www.mycollegeoptions.org. We all know that today's students spend most of their time online, so this service does it all home delivery, email, online college profile and response options that allow students to inquire, schedule a campus visit or even apply. It's cost effective and very easy to use. All I have to do is download my inquiries!

Matt Green,
Dean of Enrollment
Peace College

ST. MARY'S UNIVERSITY ABOUT: SMART APPROACH
I commend NRCCUA for partnering with Noel-Levitz to create a cutting-edge search program. With SMART Approach, we finally have the ability to use predictive modeling to inform our purchase of names. In the past, we applied the model after the point of purchase.

Suzanne Petrusch
Vice President for Enrollment Management
St. Mary’s University

BLUEFIELD COLLEGE ABOUT: CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN OUTREACH
We are pleased with our student response to our participation in NRCCUA's Conservative Christian Outreach. It is such a unique product offering, to be able to target students interested in a Christian college. Combining a direct mail card that includes multiple response options; paper, web and text and then a full year of Automated Online Search to continue promoting Bluefield College to those same students, all I can say is WOW!

MARYGROVE COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
Any college or university wanting to search more effectively should investigate NRCCUA's new SMART Approach® program. Even a small private college like ours was able to determine in advance through a proven predictive model which students in the NRCCUA database had the highest likelihood to enroll. We were able to identify the right students before I even purchased the list. The team involvement between NRCCUA, Noel Levitz and myself has been great, and their support and expertise is excellent. I'm now very confident my results will be on target.

Sherry Quinn,
Director of Admissions

CHARLESTON SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
When searching for students, colleges and universities need every added strategy available - to encourage students to respond to your institution. NRCCUA's new Automated Online Search energizes our direct mail by adding an "online" search component. This is a great service! Their advanced technology allows students chosen in my NRCCUA search list - to be "nudged" every month for 12 months along with our direct mail campaign. At the same time, our school is showcased on NRCCUA's MyCollegeOptions.org website. I highly recommend including this enhancement every time you order names from NRCCUA.
