Case Study: MiraCosta College boosts student engagement with Modern Campus Lifelong Learning

How to Shift to a ‘Student-First’ Engagement Model in a Crisis

MiraCosta College’s Community Education and Workforce Development (CEWD) division faced declining enrollment and student drop-off during COVID-19, along with a complicated registration experience and limited visibility into student data. To address these challenges, the college turned to Modern Campus and its Lifelong Learning next-generation SIS for continuing education and workforce development.

With Modern Campus Lifelong Learning, MiraCosta College aimed to automate outreach, streamline shopping cart and registration workflows, and create a more polished, student-first web experience. The solution also improved reporting by aggregating cleaner data into usable reports and identifying student interest patterns for targeted follow-up, helping reduce abandonment and support enrollment growth.
