Admissions

Processing paper- and Web-based college applications

Colleges and universities face the challenge of receiving, processing, and integrating Web-based and paper-based student applications for admissions and financial aid. With increasing online applications, it is imperative that admissions staff have the necessary tools for processing both online and paper-based applications. This is a daunting task considering the large numbers of prospective students applying. These applications must be processed accurately and efficiently, and students must be notified of the results in a timely manner.

Pearson Assessments provides a full range of hardware, software, forms, and services to assist higher education institutions in meeting this challenge. We will work to understand your institution’s specific requirements, and design the best solution to integrate your paper and online applications.

With shrinking budgets and increasing numbers of students applying, institutions must find cost-effective ways to process thousands of applications in a short period of time. We offer solutions that support institutions’ in-house application processing, or we can provide the processing services for you. By using multiple data collection technologies, we can offer both the timeliness and cost-effectiveness you need.

We process both paper- and Web-based student application forms using advanced data capture technologies, including OMR OpScan® scanners, optical character recognition (OCR), intelligent character recognition (ICR), and key-from-image (KFI).

Pearson Assessments has two state-of-the-art ISO 9001-certified printing facilities for your paper-based application forms. We can also provide print personalization and mailing services for large-scale mailing and student notification.

If resources are not available to process admissions internally at the institution, we offer processing services which include:

  • Paper-based application processing
  • Web-based application processing
  • Eligibility assessment
  • Student notification
  • Call center support

Pearson Assessments is committed to representing all facets of the higher education requirements to continue life-long learning among students, faculty, and administration.
