Frequently Asked Questions

titleWhat is an Enrollment Campaign?

Enrollment Campaigns are intended to be used by staff for outreach that helps enroll more students on time. Enrollment Campaigns allow staff to identify students that have not yet enrolled in an upcoming term, send those students a personalized message, track click-to-open rate, and track if those students are enrolled in the upcoming term.  Enrollment Campaigns will not be behind a feature flag but are permission-driven by User Role.

titleAre there privacy best practices for open and click tracking?

Many privacy laws require a service provider to get an individual’s consent before using technologies that track that individual's behavior, which is why we encourage you to make sure that students have provided consent for cookies and another track before you send mail. If privacy is a concern at your school, we have provided a way to turn open and click tracking off at the school level, and if turned on, we currently only support tracking opens at the aggregate level.
