Unibuddy To-Dos is your fast-track through email fatigue, crowded inboxes, and information overwhelm. How can you reach your incoming students, directly into their pockets, with the most credible, up-to-date information that they need to avoid missed deadlines, and a higher chance of enrolment? Unibuddy To-Dos allows you to do exactly that.
What should I use To-Dos for?
Keeping students on track with key deadlines and next steps
Reducing email overload by providing an in-app action hub
Increasing event attendance by making key dates and actions clear
Feel free to use this example template to start plotting out your ideas!
Below you'll find just a few examples of important tasks, events, and deadlines that your incoming students need to be aware of, which would make impactful To-Dos:
Tasks | Events | Deadlines |
Open event registration | Webinars | Application |
Visa application | Open days/open houses | Scholarship/funding |
Accommodation preferences | Campus tours | Housing |
Medical centre registration | Seminar/lecture series | Event registration |
Preparatory study | Q&A sessions | Offer acceptance |
Student finance/bank account | Welcome week/orientation | Mentorship scheme |
What should I do next?
Unibuddy To-Dos is live NOW, so there is no time like the present! To ensure that your incoming students have plenty to engage with, and to help them navigate the journey from application to enrolment, you should plot your upcoming deadlines and events as soon as possible. You might want to set these out ahead of time directly into your Community dashboard. You can add your To-Dos as drafts, so they are assigned to the correct communities and ready to go when you are.
How often should I post To-Dos?
We recommend a steady flow of tasks to keep students on track - best practice is to add all relevant deadlines, events, and action items into your To-Do lists. Students can seamlessly engage with the tasks that are the most relevant to them.
What's coming next?
This is a feature we've been really excited about at Unibuddy, and we won't be stopping at custom To-Do lists! In the near future, you'll also have the option to:
Segment your audience: Send tailored To-Dos to custom cohorts - i.e. international students from a specific region, postgraduate research students, etc.
Track engagement: See what is landing with your students, and track their progress through the enrolment journey. Gain real-time insights into who is on-track, and who might need extra support.
