Student Enrollment Support Services for Schools
A family who hears nothing back today has usually enrolled somewhere else by the weekend.
An autoresponder already answers the enquiry the moment it lands — that part is done. Whether the family actually enrolls comes down to whoever calls them back and helps them past whatever is stopping them. GH staffs people trained to make that call.
Sound familiar?
The friction we hear most.
An enquiry left overnight enrols with a competitor by morning
Speed is the whole game at the top of the funnel, and a family that waits a day usually stops waiting on you.
A file sits incomplete because one transcript never arrived
An admissions file at ninety percent complete is still a no, and nobody is tracking which single document is holding it up.
Attendance drops for two weeks before anyone calls the family
By the time a pattern is obvious enough to notice, it has usually already become a withdrawal risk instead of a conversation.
Financial aid paperwork stalls while the term start date gets closer
One missing signature can hold up a disbursement, and chasing it down is a job that competes with everything else an advisor is already doing.
Who joins your team
Roles we staff.
Admissions & Enrollment Coordinator
Responds to enquiries fast enough to matter and keeps prospective families moving toward a decision instead of going quiet.

Chases outstanding admissions documents until a file is complete, and flags exactly what is still missing.
Student Support & Scheduling Coordinator
Schedules advising, tutoring and support appointments, and follows up attendance drops before they become withdrawals.
Financial Aid & Re-enrollment Coordinator
Chases financial aid paperwork against deadlines and runs re-enrollment outreach between terms.

The handoff
Where AI stops. Where we start.
Automation is genuinely faster at the first, predictable touch — that part is not in question. What follows is the moment it runs out of road, and a trained person picks up with the context already in hand.
An enquiry form is submitted at 9pm on a Sunday
Where AI stops
An automated reply goes out within minutes with program information and a clear next step, faster than any office could open on a Sunday night. It cannot tell why the family has not filled out the application three days later.
What our team does
Calls, finds out what is actually holding them back — cost, timing, a question nobody answered — and moves them past it toward a decision.
A student misses class for the second week running
Where AI stops
An automated system flags the pattern and drafts the outreach note the day it crosses the threshold, catching what a manual attendance review would miss for weeks. It cannot tell whether this is a scheduling problem or a student who is about to withdraw.
What our team does
Calls the family, works out what is actually going on, and loops in the right support staff before it becomes a withdrawal instead of a conversation.
A financial aid file is missing one signed form two weeks before term
Where AI stops
An automated reminder identifies the exact missing document and sends it the moment the gap is detected, which clears most stalled files without anyone picking up a phone. It cannot get a family that is avoiding the paperwork because they are worried about the cost to actually respond.
What our team does
Calls the family directly, has the honest conversation about what they can afford, and gets the form back before the seat is offered to someone else.
An admissions file sits at ninety percent complete for a week
Where AI stops
An automated system flags exactly which document is outstanding and nudges the applicant automatically, which is the fast way to close most files. It cannot tell that the applicant has gone quiet because they are deciding between your program and somebody else's.
What our team does
Calls the applicant, hears what is actually undecided, and makes the case that gets the file finished before the offer moves to someone else.

| Benefits load | 25% |
| Paid leave | 20 days |
| Workstation and software | $1,500 |
| Cost per hire | $4,000 |

Getting started
Two weeks, start to finish.
Week one
We map your workflow
A dedicated team lead learns your systems, protocols and escalation rules before anyone takes a live call or opens a live ticket.
Week two
Supervised live coverage
Your new team works real calls and real tasks alongside your staff, with a safety net until every handoff is clean.
Full handover
Coverage runs on its own
By the end of week two the team runs independently, with reporting you can review each morning rather than a queue you have to check.
Compliance & data handling
Built to be trusted with what matters.
- Student education records handled under student record privacy obligations
- Financial aid data handled under access controls you define
- Payment data never captured or stored by the team directly
- Named-individual access to student records, logged and auditable

Common questions
Before you ask.
Will families know they are not speaking with our own staff?
Families calling in generally assume they have reached your own admissions office. That assumption holds up because the team answers under your institution's name and is trained on your specific programs, details and policies rather than a script written for any school.
How do you handle student and financial aid records?
Student education records are handled under student record privacy obligations, with named-individual access and controls you define. Financial aid data is treated with the same care, and payment data is never captured or stored by the team directly.
An autoresponder already answers our enquiries. What actually gets a family to enroll?
A phone call from someone who noticed the file stalled and knows why. Automation replies fast and keeps the paperwork moving, but it cannot tell whether a family is stuck on cost, timing or an unanswered question, and that conversation is what decides whether they enroll. Anything involving a struggling student or a financial hardship goes to a person by default.
Can the team work inside the student information system we already use?
Yes. The team works inside whatever student information, admissions and scheduling systems you already run, using logins you issue and permissions you control. Nothing is migrated and nothing new is installed on your side.
What size school or program does this make sense for?
A single-campus school fielding enquiries alongside everything else, through to a multi-program institution running admissions at scale. Smaller programs usually start with enquiry response; larger ones add document chasing and financial aid follow-up.
How quickly can enquiry response coverage start?
Two weeks is typical. The first week maps your programs, admissions process and the systems you already use; the second runs live coverage supervised alongside your own staff before full handover.

We staff the same half of the work here.
