5 Ways to Streamline Your School’s Enrollment Process
Enrollment season often brings a familiar mix of chaos and paperwork: misplaced forms, families needing help to get started, and administrators stretched thin trying to track it all. For many schools, the process still relies on outdated systems that take too much time and leave too much room for error.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. With just a few strategic changes—and the right tools—you can make your school’s enrollment process smoother, faster, and far more manageable. Here are five practical ways to do just that:
1. Digitize All Enrollment Forms
Paper forms create bottlenecks. They get lost, are hard to organize, and require manual data entry that can lead to mistakes. By digitizing your enrollment forms, you reduce those risks and open the door to better tracking and automation.
How Lazarus Helps:
You can build digital forms tailored to your school’s needs—no coding required. Create fields for student info, medical notes, program selection, and anything else you’d normally collect on paper.
2. Share Forms with Direct Links
If families don’t know where to start, they won’t. Many schools bury their forms behind portals or confusing websites. A better approach? Send a direct link straight to the application.
How Lazarus Helps:
Every form you create comes with a unique link that can be copied, emailed, posted on your site, or embedded in newsletters—no login required to start.
3. Minimize Friction for Families
Complicated signup steps cause drop-off. When families have to make accounts or remember passwords before they even see the form, many simply give up.
How Lazarus Helps:
Your forms are accessible right away. No portal logins. No barriers to entry. Just a clean, user-friendly form that parents can complete on their own time.
4. Use Custom Branding and Messaging
Generic forms can feel unprofessional or confusing. When your application doesn’t look like it belongs to your school, it can create uncertainty for parents.
How Lazarus Helps:
Customize your forms with your school’s logo, colors, and language. Set your tone. Match your identity. Add personalized confirmation messages to guide families with confidence.
5. Manage Submissions in One Dashboard
If you’re juggling emails, paper folders, or spreadsheets, you’re at risk of missing something important—like a deadline or a critical parent question.
How Lazarus Helps:
All submissions show up in one place. Track status, filter by grade or program, send reminders, and stay organized with a clean dashboard built for school admins.
Conclusion
Enrollment doesn’t need to be a constant scramble. With the right setup, you can save time, reduce errors, and make the experience better for families and staff alike.
