How admissions teams, recruiters and HR should use this checklist

For international student recruiters and placement agencies

• Prepare targeted prospectus pages and virtual tour scripts that highlight practical learning resources.
• During agent training sessions, present standardized screenshots and verified facts (for example: “24/7 Knowledge Center during semesters; 173 professional labs”) to ensure consistent messaging.
• Map program-to-facility associations: for Medicine, emphasize simulation labs and allied dentistry library support; for Communication, promote TV/radio studios and production outputs.

For university admissions teams and HR/marketing

• Integrate verified facility facts into program pages and admission brochures. Accurate counts and up-to-date photos boost credibility.
• Automate confirmation requests by including a facility-verification form in admissions workflows so program pages go live only after lab and library verification is complete.
• Use facility data to build targeted employer engagement programs; industry partners often require lab specifications before collaboration.

For edtech and integration partners

• Pull verified facility data into program recommendation engines and recruitment workflows.
• Automate virtual open day scheduling and OBS-demo sessions for remote database access.
• Track page conversions tied to facility features and feed results back into recruitment KPIs.
