SignUps for Colleges & Universities
How SignUp Supports Higher Education
As college and university leaders everywhere prepare for a new Fall semester, safety, efficiency and quality campus connections and experiences are top-of-mind. College leaders across the country and around the world are using SignUp’s platform to prepare for a successful school year. Here are some ways SignUp is supporting higher education initiatives.
Pre-Semester Campus Visits
Both for prospective students touring campus and for admitted students becoming familiar with their new school, SignUp simplifies the scheduling of tour guides, volunteers, and visitors. The campus bookstore can also manage appointments for student pick-ups so no one has to deal with crowds, long lines, and lengthy wait times.
New Student Orientation
Organizers of student orientations are using SignUp to recruit speakers and other event helpers, and to have new students RSVP to select sections and manage headcount.
Dorm Move-In
Another way campuses are streamlining processes is by managing the number of students moving into their dorms at the same time. Setting up a SignUp to coordinate move-in appointments is a great way to avoid traffic jams in the parking lot, crowded hallways, and long wait times at the elevator.
Office Hours
SignUp is perfect (and so simple) for scheduling faculty office hours and managing TA appointments for one-on-one tutoring sessions.
Tutoring
Private and department tutors are also finding SignUp helpful in managing appointments – automated reminders and e-calendar syncing mean no missed sessions and no wasted time!
Service Projects
SignUp provides the easiest volunteer coordination solution when it comes to organizing campus clean-up days, voter registration drives, service days supporting local nonprofits, and other volunteering and mentoring projects throughout the year.
Student Career Fairs
SignUp makes it easy for as many students as possible to explore career opportunities and participate in career fairs, resume workshops, and practice interviews. Flexible SignUps let employers post their availability and students sign up in the same interface. Learn more.
Staff Job Fairs & Faculty Seminars
Colleges and universities use SignUp to schedule interviews for their own hiring needs, as well as to track attendance in required HR seminars for faculty throughout the school year.
Presentation Scheduling & Special Project Teams
Getting busy students organized is a snap as professors use SignUp to simplify the scheduling of in-class presentations and special project teams. Bonus - SignUp helps professors plan for special guests and speakers throughout the semester.
Fundraisers
Whether fundraising for a club, team, sorority, fraternity, or the entire campus – SignUp is ideal for stress-free volunteer management and simple collection of donated funds .
Vaccine & Testing Clinics
Campus health and safety teams use SignUp to help coordinate seasonal flu shot and other vaccine clinics, pop-up testing, and health screening stations. Keeping the campus community healthy is a top priority.
SignUp also simplifies coordination and scheduling for other higher ed activities and events including:
Staff performance reviews
Studio reservations
Theater tech and AV support
Exam proctor scheduling
Conference speakers and break out sessions
Study groups
Recreational sports
