Every cycle, thousands of international students fall through the cracks of the enrolment journey. A missed email here. An incomplete form there. No reminder to upload that final document. Multiply that across hundreds or thousands of applicants, and it becomes clear: your admissions funnel is leaking, and your team is constantly plugging the holes by hand.
It’s time for a better way.
We’ve designed our CAS Shield platform to automate the most time-consuming parts of student follow-up, and it’s transforming how universities manage their international pipelines.
The leaky funnel problem
Even the most motivated students need structure and support. And in a high-stakes, high-pressure process like securing a CAS and visa, it’s not enough to hope they’ll stay on top of it themselves.
Here’s what typically goes wrong:
- Students forget to complete key stages (or don’t realise they’re incomplete)
- Admin teams spend hours each week chasing for the same missing items
- Deadlines slip, conversion drops, and staff burnout creeps in
What’s worse? When delays happen, it’s hard to see where or why they’re occurring, until it’s too late.
The Enroly solution: intelligent automations
Enroly’s email triggers are purpose-built for the international enrolment journey. From the moment a student is uploaded to CAS Shield, they’re guided step-by-step, with reminders sent automatically at the right moment, based on their progress.
We’re not talking about generic drip campaigns. These are milestone-based nudges designed to:
- Prompt students to complete missing information
- Remind them to upload specific documents (like their passport)
- Follow up on interview invitations or deposit plans
- Escalate action ahead of key deadlines (like course start dates)
It’s operational automation, woven directly into your enrolment process.
Results: faster progression, higher CAS conversion
When institutions switch on Enroly’s trigger system, they quickly see the difference:
- Less chasing: Our partners report up to an 80% reduction in manual follow-up
- Better visibility: Staff know who’s stuck and why, in real-time
- Fewer deferrals: Students complete earlier, receive a CAS sooner, and arrive on time
- Improved conversion: Fewer losses between offer, CAS, and arrival
And crucially, teams reclaim their time, shifting from admin mode to strategic delivery.
A better experience for your students, too
Students don’t want to feel lost. They want to know what’s expected of them, and when.
With Enroly, they get:
- A clear communication journey, from welcome email to arrival confirmation
- Reminders tailored to their actual progress
- Fewer surprises, delays, or last-minute stress
Its structure, support, and peace of mind, for them, and for you.
