100% call answer rate

Students don't leave because of you.
They leave because they couldn't reach you.

Applicants give up before they get through.

During admissions and registration peaks, call abandonment climbs and email backlogs stretch into days. An applicant who can't get a financial aid answer doesn't always call back. They enroll somewhere that picked up. Summer melt is built out of unanswered questions.

Staffing the front office doesn't scale.

FAFSA season. The week registration opens. The first day of term. Contact volume spikes and your admissions, financial aid, and registrar teams can't keep up. You staff for the peak and pay for it the rest of the year, or you don't, and students feel it.

Every channel starts from zero.

Called Monday. Messaged the portal Wednesday. Still waiting. Each time, the student starts from the beginning. New queue, same question, no progress. That's not a service issue. That's an enrollment risk.

The student who called Tuesday
doesn't start over on Thursday.

Configured once. Connected to your student information system, your LMS, your scheduling and financial aid tools. Working across every channel your students and applicants use, and remembering them across all of them.

Voice

Admissions calls. Financial aid questions. Registration help.

Picks up on the first ring. Checks application and enrollment status against your live records. Answers financial aid and billing questions, books advising appointments, and handles after-hours inquiries. Hands off to your team with full context when a student needs a person.

Chat

On your student portal. On your website. In your help center.

Reads your policies, your deadlines, your program pages, and your FAQs. Answers questions about admissions, aid, registration, and campus services in real time. Books appointments. Hands off mid-chat with the full conversation already on the screen.

Email

The inbox, cleared.

Reads incoming student and applicant emails. Looks up their record. Drafts a reply grounded in your policies and live data. Sends it on the topics you trust, routes it to your team with the draft ready on the ones you don't. Students stop waiting three days for an answer they need before a deadline.

What You Get with
SquawkVoice

Student system integration

Real-time application, enrollment, and registration status across every program and campus. Reads the record, answers the question, and sends confirmation by SMS or email.

Records and LMS connection

Looks up the student record, reads relevant history, and routes with context. Advisors and faculty pick up informed, not starting over. Connects to your LMS for course and access questions.

Financial aid and billing answers

Checks aid status, award details, balances, and payment plans in real time. Students get answers before the deadline, not after. Aid officers stop fielding the same five questions all day.

Student and family communications

Sends reminders, requests, appointment confirmations, and status updates. Every touchpoint logged. Same agent, same brand.

Transcript and verification routing

Captures transcript, records, and enrollment-verification requests and routes them to the right office workflow. Students confirm without holding. The records team works a structured queue, not a phone backlog.

After-hours and peak-season coverage

Handles after-hours inquiries with configurable logic. Answers routine questions, books the next available advising slot, and escalates the genuinely urgent ones to on-call staff immediately.

Multilingual support

40+ languages. Auto-detects the student's language. Same agent, every community.

Proactive enrollment outreach

Outbound outreach for incomplete applications, missing aid documents, registration reminders, and re-enrollment of stopped-out students. Reduces melt. Improves yield and retention.

Intelligent call routing and warm transfer

Routes to the right office, department, or language line. When a human is needed, your team gets the full conversation and student context before they say hello.
