Undergraduate Education
January 2008
Objective
To design and implement an online system of delivering admission decisions to undergraduate applicants for all campuses and all colleges. The landscape of higher education, undergraduate admissions, and recruitment continues to become more and more heavily dependent on electronic forms of communication. These online tools facilitate a quicker and more effective communication flow and provides the opportunity for a reduction in the costs associated with paper processes. All undergraduate applicants are now able to log in to their secure My Penn State account and view not only the status of their aplication but also the final decision.Team Membership

Results Achieved to Date
- ExpectedResults: This process lessens the time between a decision being made on an application and the student knowing the outcome of that decision. This tool provides a way for students to self-monitor their application process and thus reduces the likelihood of email and telephone questions. The stage is also set for the development of approaches that eliminate some of the paper process associated with communicating these decisions to students.
