Before Enroly, Aberdeen struggled with outdated internal systems that offered limited visibility over where international students were on their journey. Manual processes made it difficult for the admissions team to identify CAS-ready students, while recruitment staff lacked timely data to support planning, forecasting, and conversion.
To modernise and streamline the post-offer process, the University of Aberdeen implemented Enroly CAS Shield, delivering:
Visibility that drives strategic action
“This has really transformed our ability to manage the end-stage conversion work that we do, and manage expectations with senior management.”
– Megan McFarlane, Deputy Director of Global Engagement, Marketing & Recruitment
Aberdeen now uses CAS Shield as a daily operational tool, logging in each morning to review real-time insights on students by stage: pre-deposit, post-deposit, CAS-ready, visa issued, and more.
“We never had this level of visibility before. Now it’s something we check daily.”
Insight-driven conversion
“Enroly was just transformative in helping project our income and also identifying any issues with individual students.”
Impact:
These insights feed directly into forecasting and have become a trusted resource for Aberdeen’s senior leadership.
Operational efficiency for admissions
“It’s cutting down on a lot of manual effort to find the people that are ready for CAS.”
Impact:
Admissions teams now move faster and with greater confidence, reducing bottlenecks during critical periods.
“This tool, it’s something that we can’t do without now, really. This is not something that we can leave out of our budget for future years.”
“It is just something that we can’t function without now.”
One in three higher education institutions now onboard their international students with Enroly. That’s 8 million documents processed with smart automation and counting.
