Common App Expands Opportunities for Students to Enroll at UCM, Extends National Reach
By Jeff Murphy, December 4, 2018
WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥� Taking advantage of new technological resources to help make enrollment
as simple as possible, the 欧美视频 has joined more than 800
public and private colleges and universities nationwide to offer .
Simply known as the Common App, this tool allows students to apply for admission to
multiple colleges at one time using only one online application. All students have
to do is to visit the free website , and create an account. Once they login, they can click on the College Search tab
and locate schools that meet their interest using criteria such as institution name,
location, application deadline or proximity to their home.
The Common App not only helps students explore different institutions of higher education,
but provides information about how to apply, things students can do to plan ahead
for college, and gather information to help them in their selection. It also offers
a Virtual Counselor which can help students determine which schools are right for
them.
Drew Griffin, assistant vice provost for admissions and financial aid, said the university
began offering this app in November and has already received a number of applications
from users. He said it is a great opportunity for students who are undecided about
where to attend college to learn more about UCM, and it also provides more national
exposure for the university, reaching students across the United States who may not
be familiar with the institution.
鈥淭he Common App is a nice complement to our existing recruitment efforts. It is a
win-win both for students and institutions. It gives students access to colleges that
they otherwise would not even think to apply to and streamlines the process for them.
For universities like UCM, we are now recruiting at a national level, giving us exposure
to students and regions where we have not previously recruited,鈥� Griffin noted.
Students who apply for admission to UCM by Jan. 1, 2019 using the Common App also
will be included with all other applicants in an opportunity to win a free tuition scholarship valued at 30-credit-hours. The winner will be selected randomly and announced Jan.
10 from the pool of applicants, which includes those who also apply for admission
using more traditional ways to apply.
