In April, the University announced the selection of Higher Education Consulting as its implementation partner and shared the goal of launching Slate in early July, using a phased “just-in-time” approach to onboarding and functionality. Since then, project planning and discovery efforts have continued to move forward across campus.
On May 1, members of the University community were invited to participate in HCE’s on-site discovery sessions. These sessions gave faculty and staff the opportunity to learn more about Slate, ask questions, and begin identifying operational needs and opportunities that may intersect with the new CRM platform.
As the project progresses, Enrollment Management is encouraging campus partners to help identify processes and student data activities for inclusion in Slate. In particular, teams that manage student-related communications, workflows, tracking or data processes outside of a centralized CRM are encouraged to share their needs.
To support this effort, Enrollment Management has launched a Slate Requirements Submission Form. Submissions will be reviewed by the project team and prioritized as part of the broader implementation strategy. Feedback from campus partners will play an important role in ensuring Slate supports the needs of students and the University community.
The project timeline continues to move forward, with core configuration and functionality expected by July 8.
Training opportunities for campus partners will be offered throughout July, with full go-live scheduled for Aug. 4.
Undergraduate admissions decisions are expected to begin releasing on Sept. 1, followed by graduate admissions decisions beginning on Oct. 1.

Additional updates and engagement opportunities will continue to be shared as the implementation advances.
