Where campus service breaks down
Call volume follows the academic calendar.
Application deadlines, financial aid season and the first weeks of each term send call volume well past what campus offices can staff. Students who can’t get answers may enroll somewhere else.
Deadline surges
Admissions and aid deadlines bring weeks of heavy call volume, followed by quiet periods.
Offices closed after hours
Students and parents often call in the evening and on weekends, when campus offices are closed.
Enrollment at stake
A prospective student who waits on hold or reaches voicemail may choose another school.
How student and family calls are handled
