Indiana University is transitioning recruitment and admissions processes, including application processing and decisioning, events management, communications and recruitment, to Slate by Technolutions.
Slate is one of the most widely used recruitment and admissions software solutions across higher education. It is specifically designed to optimize communications, streamline application processing and simplify decision release in the admissions process. Slate is adaptable to IU’s unique processes, ensuring a personalized approach that allows for common data files and structure and autonomy relevant to the university's multiple admission processes and relevant units.
Slate was first deployed at IU in 2024, supporting undergraduate domestic and international admissions at IU Indianapolis, undergraduate domestic admissions at IU Bloomington, and admissions processes within the IU School of Nursing. Since then, Slate has continued to expand across campuses and populations, with additional implementations underway as IU advances toward institution-wide recruitment and admissions processing on the platform.
