Application checklist for prospective students
We would like to offer prospective students visiting our website a "checklist" to help with the research into study here at Victoria and the actual application process. It would assist the user towards prepare for and make a successful application to study here (and maybe even prepare for arrival), while feeding providing us with information on the stage of the journey that a student is at (and therefore his/her information/services needs ) of the studentat that point of time):
- Cover the main or tasks required to start university study
- Work in our Squiz sites and the Angular app
- Be invoked by entering a name and email address
- Allow individuals to mark off what is done (or not relevant) and what is remaining.
- Assist the University to know the information needs of prospective students, so outbound communications (from Marketo) are personalised and relevant.
- Powered by data that is stored in Marketo, possibly also with client-side cookie values.
