ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICACY OF ENROLLMENT PROCESS
Abstract
CHAPTER 1
internal constraints to ensure efficiency and reliability. The number of students enrolled has
declined due to a lack of detailed information from the educational institution or college that
A lot of educational institutions face issues in the enrollment process. This becomes
particularly problematic when the process is usual, as it is both time-consuming and error-
prone due to the extensive manual labor required. According to a study from The Chronicle
of Higher Education (2023), more than 40 percent of admissions staff reported struggling to
meet the fall enrollment goal because of a lack of the university’s personnel due to staff
turnover.
Effective and convenient enrollment processes are essential for universities to handle
inquiries, build strong communication, and maintain records efficiently. According to the
study conducted by Nuevo, K. (2021), various colleges have created systems for enrollment
procedures due to the need for consistency to provide better facilities. Each school's
admissions policy has a significant effect on each of us. Many universities and colleges use
enrollment systems to provide better services to their students. The enrollment method
encouraged participants to sign up more quickly, save time, and become more dependable to
According to the findings of Ming, Y., and Hao, N. (2018), the enrollment system is
concerned with the procedures and requirements for enrolling students at educational
enrollment system is concerned with the enrollment criteria of students in various schools, as
well as the management and procedures of student enrollment. The enrollment system is tied
to citizens' rights and obligations to receive education; it is also related to the topic of
The enrollment process involves students registering or signing up, submitting required
documents, and finalizing class schedules during the designated enrollment period. Over the
past decades, proper enrollment procedures have played a crucial role in serving students'
workflow and stringent university enrollment regulations (Then P., 2006 as cited by Mina,
C., 2021).
The enrollment process within higher education institutions stands as a pivotal gateway for
students' academic journeys. Analyzing the enrollment process's efficacy is crucial at every
state university. A student's potential stress levels during their time in college may increase
due to an inefficient and ineffective university enrollment system. Therefore, this study was
carried out to evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of the college enrollment system in order
academic growth of topics, enhancing the reputation of colleges and universities, and more.
ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICACY OF ENROLLMENT PROCESS
According to Liu (2020), the large-scale enrollment and diversion training model has been
development model. However, some colleges and universities have blind enrollment
categories, the management system still uses the old-style professional management mode,
categories, and the status quota of employment and the development of disciplines have not
put forward scientific guidance for enrollment work, resulting in a series of problems such as
student quality, training, and employment decline. Colleges and universities should innovate
and alter the enrollment, training, and job connection mechanism to adapt to the current
enrollment. It makes the volunteer "one choice for life" for the college entrance test different
and achieves widespread student enrolment in colleges and universities. Students select their
major based on volunteer recommendations once they have a firm understanding of the
subject matter. To do this, it is therefore essential to initially set up a sensible enrollment and
Enrollment growth is the first and most significant phase in the development of an institution.
This study investigates the enrollment strategy model of universities utilizing methodologies
based on educational statistics, guided by educational assessment theory. The present study
investigates the university enrollment strategy model by evaluating two aspects: the
enrollment source and the employment destination. By normalizing enrollment data from
previous years, an evaluation model of student quality is built, which changes the graduate
The enrollment process within higher education institutions stands as a pivotal gateway for
students' academic journeys. Analyzing the enrollment process's efficacy is crucial at every
state university. As stated by Alexander and Ishak (2018), a student's selection procedure is
influenced by some factors, including majors offered, proximity to home, the process of time,
According to Nuevo K. (2021), various colleges have created systems for enrollment

According to Custodio and Castro, (2016) as cited by Mina, et al., (2021) the system of
generation has grown up with technology, so they expect to do business and obtain
information from colleges and universities online. Many universities understand how
important convenience and ease of use are to their students, and they think that student

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This conceptual framework served as the research plot of this proposal. The model involved
the factors of the enrollment process such as admission, evaluation, and processing time.
Based on the presented model, the enrollment processes serve as the independent variable of
the study, while the efficacy of enrollment serves as the dependent variable. As stated by
Hess (2019), concerns over "legacy" admissions, falsified applications, and the favored
treatment of wealthy benefactors are numerous, and colleges have demonstrated their
inability or unwillingness to uphold the integrity of the admissions process. This is especially
concerning for top universities, where degrees provide an immediate path to financial

that accords equal treatment to all candidates who possess a high school certificate. The
Considering scheduling dictates how colleges run daily, it has become imperative in
academia to invest significant time in crafting the best possible schedules (Dimitsas, 2022).

To get the necessary data for this research, the researchers will secure first approval from the
authority. To acquire this, researchers will present a letter of approval that will be addressed
to the Directress of the campus to seek permission for the marketing students to be the
participants of the proposed study. In the letter, researchers will ask about the number of
students that were enrolled at Don Honorio Ventura State University-Candaba Campus in
the Academic Year 2023-2024. Once the necessary approval is acquired, the researchers will
be going to the office of the registrar at DCC to gather data on the number of marketing
students under the Data Privacy Act 2012. Once it is obtained, the researchers will proceed
In the actual data-gathering process, the researchers will utilize face-to-face methods. In the
face-to-face method, each of the participants of the study will be given a survey
questionnaire. But before the participants start, researchers will secure the consent of the
participants to conduct a survey session to be followed by explaining the nature and purpose
of the study. The participants will be given enough time to answer all the questions provided
for them to understand and answer each of the statements correctly. Once the total number of
responses is obtained, the researchers will coordinate with the experts to interpret the data
gathered.
