Case Study: Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology achieves paper-free, faster admissions with Liaison's EngineeringCAS

Rose-hulman Institute of Technology Reengineers Its Admissions Process by Sending Paper to the Scrap Heap

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology faced a slow, paper-driven admissions process — “pencil and paper, literally” — and a clunky prior electronic system that left the school without key enrollment metrics like melt and yield. Seeking better transparency, accountability and faster decision-making, Rose‑Hulman turned to Liaison and its EngineeringCAS solution to modernize admissions.

Liaison implemented its cloud-based EngineeringCAS centralized application service, giving applicants a single online portal and the admissions team automated processing, transcript scanning, targeted communications and analytics. As a result, Rose‑Hulman has largely eliminated paper records, is already saving days in application processing, and is targeting a reduction in turnaround time from 10 to 5 business days while gaining the visibility and remote access Liaison’s platform provides.
