Implementing a Student-Centered Admissions Process at Landmark College

In the fall of 2022, Landmark College turned to Post Captain Consulting to implement a new Slate instance tailored to their distinctive admissions process. With students who learn differently and often apply to multiple programs over time, Landmark needed a system that could reflect their mission, surface the right data at the right time, and simplify both communications and admissions review.
Putting People First with Purpose-Built Solutions
Together with Landmark’s admissions and IT teams, Post Captain set out to design a system that brings complex learning data to the forefront and empowers reviewers with a fuller understanding of each applicant. From seamless PowerCampus integration to clear, actionable reports, every element of the system was built to help Landmark’s team spend less time wrestling with data and more time focusing on students.
To bring this vision to life, we configured custom entities and tests to capture learning styles and accommodations, built data containers in the Slate Reader to support a comprehensive review process, and developed 5-year funnel reports to drive long-term planning. An automated integration process keeps Slate and PowerCampus in sync, freeing the team from manual updates and repetitive tasks.
Funnel reports now provide year-to-date tracking and long-term insights, enabling better strategic planning and a deeper understanding of admissions trends. This historical perspective will help Landmark anticipate changes and continuously refine their admissions strategies.
A fully automated export-import process will keep Slate and PowerCampus seamlessly connected, freeing staff from manual data entry and minimizing errors. This reliable integration ensures data accuracy and saves valuable time for the admissions team.
One system now integrates complex admissions data (like learning styles, accommodations, test scores), giving reviewers a complete picture to make informed decisions. This comprehensive view supports a more personalized and effective admissions process tailored to each applicant’s unique needs.
Guided by Post Captain’s deep understanding of Landmark’s unique needs, the admissions team can now focus more fully on connecting with future Greyhounds rather than wrestling with data management. Looking ahead, Landmark College plans to expand its use of the platform to support onboarding and new student enrollment, bringing the same people-first approach to every step of the student journey.
“We have more complex offerings and entry terms than most colleges – and the Post Captain team has invested the time to truly understand our business processes in order to give us the best guidance possible with our implementation. We set out to find an implementation partner who would keep our Slate Captains in the driver seat so that we’d have long term ownership of our instance while also carrying some of the load to keep us on schedule – and Post Captain’s style has been just right for the Landmark College team!”
