Today's students expect instant,
on-demand answers.
Slow email responses, business-hours-only call centers, and form-driven admissions funnels lose students to competitors who answer in seconds. Your team needs tools that meet applicants on their phone — without compromising FERPA.
After-Hours Inquiries
Roughly 70% of prospective student inquiries arrive outside 9-to-5. If they don't get an answer within minutes, they enroll somewhere that does.
FERPA & Privacy
Every conversation about a student — from inquiry to alumni — falls under FERPA. Generic chat tools fail audits and put accreditation reviews at risk.
Application Drop-Off
About 60% of college applications are started but never finished. Without a guided front door, your funnel leaks at every stage — from prospect to deposit.
What ChatBeacon does for
colleges & universities.
Admissions Inquiries
Application deadlines, GPA requirements, program comparisons — AI handles top-of-funnel questions 24/7 and routes high-intent prospects to your enrollment team with full context.
Financial Aid Navigation
FAFSA walkthroughs, scholarship matching, net-price calculator help — explained in plain language without an advisor appointment.
Registrar & Course Help
Add/drop questions, prerequisites, transcript requests, graduation audits — answered instantly without a ticket to the registrar.
Campus Tours & Events
Visit booking, info-session signup, virtual tour links — captured at the moment of interest, with reminders that cut no-shows.
FERPA-Compliant Handoffs
Every escalation to a counselor, advisor, or registrar happens inside an audited, FERPA-aligned trail — no student PII slipping into email or SMS.
Built to protect every
student record.
