Confused about the order of the preferred process

I don't know the admissions requirements or what to do

Need a summary of Purdue Global (how seminar works, and what is a seminar?)

Supportive, Persuasive, Clear, and Informative Marketing

Facilitates a smooth transfer, outlines pathways, opportunities, information for next steps, contact information should include the student's preferred method of contact

Most Importantly-students may not continue in the process without it:

A literature review of community college marketing focus groups yields approximately half of the colleges evaluated ‘presented transfer information in a very accessible way online.’ Follow-up interviews with community college advisors also expressed frustration about the university’s website (31).

“Most entering community college students intend to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher, yet the vast majority are not successful in reaching this goal and instead encounter a complicated process with little guidance,” (30).

“The lack of clear information about transfer requirements may in part explain why so few bachelor’s-intending students who make substantial progress at community college do not even enroll (let alone complete) at a 4-year institution,” (31).

“Transfer-intending community college students may not successfully make the leap to a 4-year institution because they are unable to navigate the complex transfer maze,” (33).
