ACU
Case Study
Australian Catholic University has contracted Successful Graduate to support the international student acquisition and retention process.
ACU is ranked first in Australia for graduate employment. (Graduate Outcomes Survey – Longitudinal 2022, medium-term, full-time employment 2020–2022 for domestic undergraduate students). We are proud to directly support this ranking with our products.
Our platform is being utilised to support student preparation across key stages of the student acquisition lifecycle, and is also helping to support student retention through the release of employability material for first year students.
Adapted to enable third party access.
Future students with this client are able to access our materials through a contracted third party (QS). This party encourages students who are at key stages of enrolment with ACU to complete our courses on the contracted ACU Successful Graduate site. These students complete our products as incentives to confirm their enrolment.
Enrolment Incentive
One objective being met by the installation is the increase in confirmed international student enrolments. Successful Graduate courses are being deployed to future students at different stages of the enrolment process. Conditional and unconditional offer holders are registered for our products when confirming their enrolment with ACU.
ACU Student Retention Strategy
The ACU Student Retention Strategy is focused on identifying whole-of-university approaches to improving student retention and success in alignment with the university’s mission and values. The Successful Graduate platform is designed to support this strategy by delivering our Finding Part Time Work course to students who are commencing their first semester of studies.
Diverse Campus Locations
ACU now boasts 8 different campus locations – 7 across Australia (Ballarat, Blacktown, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, North Sydney, Strathfield), and a new campus in Rome. Regardless of their location, all future and first year international students have access to our Successful Graduate platform.
