Student Recruitment and Support
Each institution has a team of program recruitment managers with the goal of managing prospective student inquiries and identifying and enrolling the right students for each institution. The engagement and advanced analytical techniques we use ensure that each candidate who applies is sufficiency qualified, comprehends the learning commitment, and is dedicated to successfully completing the program.
Enrollment Strategies and Management
Our student enrollment team provides a full service, end-to-end application process for prospective students. The team works with applicants to secure the necessary documentation required for acceptance into the programs. This support allows our partner institution to make the final acceptance decisions more efficiently.
Student Retention Services
Our dedicated student retention team provides a breadth of retention services to proactively support learners throughout their journey. Coupled with resources, guidance, and personal assistance, these services are designed to support students’ persistence by furthering successful learning outcomes.
Our personalized student support spans the student journey from program inquiry to graduation, and keeps students connected with their institution through services including:
- 24/7 Personal Support Center for technical assistance
- Student success activities such as course participation monitoring and student orientations
- Dedicated Student Service Coordinator acting as a liaison between student and institution
We also utilize a proprietary Behavior Analytics platform in our higher education services to build a profile of each student, so we can optimize their support and learning experiences on an individual basis.
Program Design and Development
We work with our partner institutions to translate programs into on campus, online, or hybrid format, combining our collective expertise to create engaging and transformational learning experiences. We deem that a program is successful if it is:
- Distinctive – Programs should reflect the unique culture of the institution, faculty, and student community to stand out from the competition
- Outcomes-driven – Students should complete a program with the knowledge and confidence they need to achieve their career goals
- Engaging – Programs and courses should be able to hold the attention of students through compelling content, peer engagement, and passionate teaching methods
Faculty Support and Training
We provide the facilities and technical training to ensure faculty members are prepared, confident, and empowered to teach, without being impeded by administrative tasks. We are passionate about helping faculty achieve their vision. By giving them the right training and support we can help them create stronger, more effective learning experiences for their students.
24×7 Help Desk
Our specialized Wiley team provides 24/7/365 help desk services through a Personal Support Center (PSC) to help our partners’ students, faculty, and staff. As well as responding to technical inquiries, the PSC can also direct students to resources for information on everything from financial aid and student services to library assistance and learning management systems.

They check in on the students to make sure that they’re having a good experience from day one. They make sure that there is a relationship there that goes beyond the academic piece. For most students, especially online students, that’s critical.
