3. Our Guiding Principles
Online education is the
preferred modality for
continuing education
students, yet institutions
face enormous challenges
with marketing their
online programs in today's
competitive landscape.
Perdia believes that online
education recruitment
expertise should remain a
core competency within
universities – it should not
be contracted out to
OPM (online program
management) providers.
Our mission is to provide
solutions that drive
enrollment growth while
providing the framework,
knowledge and guidance
that deliver agency and
control to institutions and
eliminate their need for
heavy reliance on
outside firms.
Our solutions help
institutions redefine and
configure their internal
processes and workflows
to stay ahead of their
competitors, not only
today but also well into
the future.

4. Recruiting
Services
With Perdia, your online offerings are promoted
on GetEducated.com, the go-to search portal for
adult students serious about continuing their
education online.
We provide enriched advertising services through
GetEducated.com, which is one of the longest
tenured online education directories in the U.S.
GetEducated was founded by an educator in 1989
as a print-based digest and migrated to an online
directory format in 1998. The site now receives
400-500K monthly visits through organic search.
5. Mobile Enrollment
Solution
The EMMA™ platform is a patent-pending mobile enrollment
solution that offers dynamic new communications opportunities
to institutions, white-labeled to mirror their existing templates and
processes. With EMMA, prospective students are provided
pathways built by artificial intelligence to interview, qualify and
advise them throughout the admissions process. EMMA
nurtures students from the very beginning of their online journey,
delivers retention tools to institutions through Term 1 and Term 2,
and, most importantly, serves as a powerful extension of in-house
admissions and enrollment teams.
EMMA was designed to enhance traditional enrollment processes
with revolutionary mobile innovations that combine new tools and
modalities with the communication preferences of today’s online
student. EMMA meets these student preferences while reducing
call center processes that have shown diminished effectiveness
and increased costs and compliance concerns over the last
decade.
6. Bundled
Solutions
Perdia’s Bundled Solutions suite offers an
innovative, no-risk option by stacking
EMMA™ on top of GetEducated.com
and adds expert consulting and
related services.
Unlike traditional OPM (online program
management) providers that seek multi-
year exclusive agreements, with internal
processes turned over to a third party,
Perdia offers a non-exclusive, short-term
contract solution. This enables institutions
to build steady, long-term growth while
maintaining and executing their own
marketing and enrollment initiatives.

7. How We Can Help
Insert School Name Here
Perdia Education will provide SCHOOL NAME HERE with marketing, support services, and enrollment expertise through:
ENROLLMENT INVESTMENT
Upfront investment in marketing outreach campaigns, to promote
NAME HERE’s online program offerings to a national audience,
primarily on Perdia’s GetEducated.com student research portal.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
Development, implementation, and technical support of Perdia’s
EMMATM Mobile Enrollment Application, white-labeled for NAME HERE
and designed to augment NAME HERE’s enrollment processes, from
initial point of inquiry through admissions, registration, and Term 1–
Term 2 support.
ENROLLMENT EXPERTISE
Ongoing consulting services and strategic planning support for
enrollment growth initiatives.
RESEARCH AND DATA
In-depth metrics and analytics on potential program development
opportunities, based on student demand.
8. We’re a Team –
With a Common Goal
• Due to our tight integration and working relationship, we will
be an additional member of SCHOOL NAME’s team and will
communicate with you on an almost daily basis. Throughout
our engagement, NAME HERE can expect ongoing growth in
online student enrollments as it develops into an organization
poised for success in the new digital environment.
• Perdia’s knowledge transfer and transparency will be a unique
and valuable asset provided to NAME HERE, helping the
institution stay current with the trends and processes that are
transforming the online education industry.
9. Implementation Overview
Review and execution of Perdia’s
Master Service agreement
There are two engagement areas with your tech team:
• Discussions and testing of system integration with
your CRM and/or SIS
• Allocation of assets needed by Perdia to work on
your behalf (SIS log in / Email account)
The admissions office and the registrar will need to be briefed as to
the nature of our partnership, if for no other reason than to be aware
the work exists. Their processes are unlikely to change but there may
be some slight nuances as to processing online students that may
need further discussion in due diligence meetings.
• Consultation and approval of branded assets and communication
(share with Legal)
• Ongoing test performance tracking/evaluation of program
against benchmarks
• Consultation on processing of applicants, program admission
guidelines, and documentation collection
• Point of escalation for questions and clarification of policies as
they arise

10. Implementation
Following the assessment, Perdia begins
building content for EMMA™ and will develop
intelligent pathway structures within the
system configuration. Simultaneously,
Perdia’s team will engage in discussions with
NAME HERE’s technical team to outline and
create integration points with NAME HERE’s
student information system and CRM.
Following mutual agreement on system
content and integration, Perdia will initiate
marketing and recruitment campaigns, and
train recruitment staff on NAME HERE’s
programs, practices and procedures.
Implementation of Perdia’s Bundled Solutions is a simple
process led by Perdia. To facilitate EMMA™
implementation, we perform a 360-degree assessment
of your processes for working with potential students
through their first day in class. The assessment will cover:
• Initial outreach to
interested students
• Online applications
• How applications are
processed to
admissions
• How external
documents are
reviewed
• Acceptance of
students
• Financial aid
processing
• Prior credit
evaluation
• New student
orientation
• Student
support services
11. Pricing
• Perdia Education offers its Bundled Solutions as a risk-free strategic
package. Perdia provides all marketing and technical support investment
upfront and SCHOOL NAME HERE incurs costs only once a new online
student enrollment is secured.
• Perdia performs through the lifetime of the student to ensure program
graduation. As such, Perdia’s fee is 50% of the tuition paid by the student
each semester through their time at SCHOOL NAME.
• Note that any additional fees and expenses charged by SCHOOL NAME are
exempt from tuition sharing. For example, online fees, books, room and
board, technology fees, etc. are all exempt from tuition sharing with Perdia.
• During the time of the contract with SCHOOL NAME HERE, Perdia will work
tirelessly on the institution’s behalf to recruit and enroll students, keep
enrolled students matriculating semester to semester, and help SCHOOL
NAME transform itself to attract and serve more online students.
12. Important Note
Our discussion today involves Perdia’s Bundled Solutions,
but EMMA™ can also be provided as a stand-alone mobile
enrollment platform. This may be a solution for SCHOOL
NAME to be used in conjunction with your own recruiting
efforts for both in-person and online students.
With the adoption of Perdia’s Bundled Solutions, you will
have a unique opportunity to view EMMA in action with
the students Perdia provides to the College. During this
time, you can evaluate how Perdia might fit with and
augment your current enrollment solutions.
Should you desire to license the technology as a separate
solution, we can discuss those terms at a later date.
However, it is important to note that as a
standalone/additional solution, EMMA is billed per student
download and registration of the mobile app – it is not a
tuition-share billing arrangement.
13. Conclusion
Perdia Education is excited by the opportunity to partner
with NAME OF SCHOOL HERE. Our mission is to provide
institutions with more online student graduates.
Comparing the programs NAME OF SCHOOL provides
with the programs students seek on GetEducated.com, we
have no doubt that we can generate strong online
interest and term-over-term growth for SCHOOL NAME.
We look forward to building a strong, productive
relationship with NAME OF SCHOOL HERE for many years
to come. Looking into the future, as we continue to grow
traffic to SCHOOL NAME, help you create attractive new
online offerings, and enhance your processes and digital
presence, Perdia can serve as a significant force behind
SCHOOL NAME HERE’s online enrollment success.
We look forward to continuing these discussions and hope
to be working closely with you soon and for years to come.
