The admissions homepage (opens new window) grows every semester, new programs being promoted and others ending. For most prospective students this is the first or second (wayne.edu or a print piece being first) impression of the university. Making the page engaging is key since getting them to the site is half way to applying. Including a random student profile and a large portion dedicated to upcoming deadlines is key to keeping prospective students on the page longer and grouping the same type of information.

Information for the parents section of the admissions site has been expanded to separate the information into Just Started parents and Already Admitted groups. Both groups have different needs and could not be served equally on the same page.

In addition to information expansion the campus is expanding too. An update to the Campus Map (opens new window) includes the South University Village (opens new window) and its parking structure. Both currently under construction but will be open soon. We also added a more detailed map for the Macomb extension center to help with directions and details about getting around the large Macomb campus.
