Weekly Reports
OCSCs receive a weekly report that will include students' basic contact information and the status of their application(s) to BestSemesterTM programs.
The schedule of delivery will be by campus name on these days:
- Tuesdays: A-D
- Wednesdays: E-K
- Thursdays: L-P
- Fridays: R-Z
Please note that the report will show delivery from our info@bestsemester.com email but the Subject Name & Branding on the email will come from Intelliworks, our application system provider.
The report will show the status of students who are both applying to and confirming their participation in BestSemesterTM programs. We will update the reports as we open new application/confirmation forms so that only current/active students are showing on this particular report. The weekly reports will be sent even if there's no data or no new data to report.
Below is a description of the report columns and registration status types.
It is our hope that the weekly reports will be a regular & reliable summary of your students in active application and confirmation cycles. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions, comments or updates.
