Case Study: University of Mary Washington streamlines student admissions with Laserfiche

How the University of Mary Washington Streamlined the Student Admissions Process with Laserfiche

The University of Mary Washington faced a growing admissions workload and a cumbersome paper-based process that made it difficult to manage thousands of applications, delayed status updates for students, and created frequent front-desk inquiries. With application packets piling up, the university needed a better way to handle admissions efficiently and improve service for applicants using Laserfiche.

Laserfiche helped UMW automate its admissions workflow by creating individual digital folders for each applicant, routing files through review stages with Laserfiche Workflow, and integrating with Banner, Common App, CollegeNET, Microsoft, and SharePoint. As a result, Laserfiche reduced application processing time from about one month to just a few days, improved transparency by letting students track status and missing documents online, and enabled territory managers to review applications from anywhere.
