The role of the Admissions Advisor is to meet daily performance expectations, including call volume, talk time, and applicant progression, while maintaining a high-quality, student-focused outreach experience. Admissions advisors interview prospective students to determine their motivation for attending college; understand their career goals and the obstacles that might prevent them from starting or continuing their education; help them to overcome those obstacles; and ultimately help them identify the degree-program that best matches their needs. During the interview advisors present information about the benefits of education and DeVry University, tailoring their message to the student’s needs, motivation, and career goals. Once prospective students decide to enroll, advisors guide them through the admissions process, responding to questions, linking them to financial aid and academic advisors, gathering the documents necessary to start school, and ensuring students complete admissions testing.
