A clear, consistent Student Interest Sheet streamlines intake, reduces data errors, and standardizes follow-up across admissions teams.
Staff in admissions, outreach, and program coordinators collect the sheet; prospective students and parents complete it.
The completed sheet becomes a short-term operational record and a source document for enrollment follow-up and analytics.
