Introducing Slate, UNF’s New CRM
What is Slate?
Slate by Technolutions is a comprehensive platform for admissions and enrollment management, student success, and alumni/advancement.
As a system designed exclusively for higher education, Slate will be used to cultivate, track, and respond to prospect interest; deliver admissions decisions; enable students to complete enrollment requirements; and manage admissions events. Slate is replacing our current system, Ellucian Recruiter, which will be gradually phased out as additional functionality within Slate is implemented.
