Communications Report
Over 95% of Americans text and 83% of millennials open an SMS message within 90 seconds. Career colleges need a way to stay current with the changing ways of communication in order to keep their students engaged. That is why STARS student management system provides several options that will help improve response rate.
Using STARS, career colleges now have the ability to send a text to an individual lead or student, or to send out a mass text to the appropriate recipients. Here are a few examples of how our postsecondary schools utilize the STARS texting feature to reach their recipients:
- Automatic response when a lead inquires
- Emergency message to students and/or staff
- Marketing message
- Alumni communication
- Placement communication for verification
- Employer communication
- Online application submission
- Survey message
- Grade and attendance alerts
- Admissions appointment confirmation
Texting is such a huge method of communication that all career colleges in America must utilize to help relay important messages and gather important responses, ones which you typically won’t gather easily.
In addition to the texting feature, STARS has a great email feature that allows you to send emails directly from the student management system to either a single recipient or a group of recipients. Here are a few examples of how our career colleges utilize emailing in STARS:
- Drip marketing campaigns
- Marketing communication

Student Portal Accessibility
The STARS student portal is another great way for career colleges to communicate with students. It automatically updates their class schedules, attendance, grades, and student payments. It even allows the postsecondary schools to push applications, surveys, or other forms for the student to complete. Colleges can also post messages to a student via the student portal. Whether the message is intended for one student or everyone, utilizing this tool ensures the communication gaps are filled!
