Every Student Has Something to Say.
Start Listening.
Emails go unread. Calls go to voicemail. Portal logins sit at zero. All while students make decisions in text threads. Drips turns silence into conversations that get responses, drive action, and lead to real outcomes.
Drive Outcomes with Conversations
Every stage of the student lifecycle has a dropout point that most schools fight with outreach that nobody reads. Drips replaces the noise with two-way text conversations that get responses to move your enrollment, retention, and revenue numbers without adding headcount.
Get Your Leads Talking
Prospective students ghost email and dodge calls. Drips text conversations actually get replies, so your team spends time with students who want to talk, not chasing the ones who don't.
- Turn unresponsive leads into live enrollment conversations
- More completed apps and advisor calls, without more staff
- Every message automatically compliant, zero manual reviews

Don't Lose Them on Day One
The maze of tasks can bring silence when students don't ask for help. Drips turns onboarding into an ongoing text conversation that surfaces blockers before students become no-shows.
- Clear registration hurdles before they cause melt
- Deliver each step on the student's timeline, not yours
- Connect new students to support before they go silent

No problem, can we give you a quick call in 10 mins?
Catch Them Before They're Gone
By the time a student misses class or fails an assignment, they've been drifting for weeks. Drips catches the early signals and opens a conversation for your advising team. That's how you keep students enrolled, not just contacted.
- Detect disengagement before it becomes a withdrawal form
- Deliver the right resource at the moment it matters
- Route at-risk students to an advisor while they're still reachable

Hi Ella, this is Jim from Capitol College. We noticed that you haven’t completed any coursework in the past 3 days. Can we connect you to an advisor?
We totally understand. Advising isn’t required, but it’s free and many students find it helpful! Are you interested in a quick call?
Missed Payments End Enrollments
A student who can't pay isn't a lost cause, they're a solvable problem. Drips starts the payment conversation early, surfaces real options, and keeps students enrolled to protect the seats you already worked to fill.
- Start payment conversations before deadlines become holds
- Drive autopay enrollment and on-time payment, without extra calls
- Re-engage stopped-out students other channels have given up on

Your Legal Team Will
Sleep Better
FERPA. TCPA. CAN-SPAM. State-level rules. Every student text your institution sends carries legal exposure and most tools leave that problem on your desk. Drips governs every conversation automatically, so your team moves fast on outreach without keeping legal up at night.
Compliance isn't a feature you bolt on, it's a foundation you build on. Ten years, nearly a billion conversations. That's not a sprint ticket.

FAQS
Get Your Questions Answered
What is FERPA?
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act): FERPA regulates the privacy of student education records and governs how institutions can use and disclose student information. It's important to ensure compliance with FERPA when collecting and using student data for enrollment outreach.
What Regulations Apply to Prospective Student Outreach?
Student outreach needs to comply with FERPA, the CAN-SPAM Act, TCPA, GDPR (for EU-based students), state-level rules, and your own institution's ethical guidelines. Drips builds every one into the conversation automatically.
What's the Most Effective Tactic for Enrollment Outreach?
Messages tailored to a student's interests, background, and stage in the enrollment process convert more inquiries into applications, and more applications into enrolled students. Drips knows how to keep engaging conversations with students to guide them to their next best step.
