Student Contact Centre Manager Susan Collins says that the conversion process has been a collaborative effort between the Division of Marketing and the Student Centre.  She says the use of the CRM (Customer Relationship Management software) has been instrumental in making the conversion process such a success.

Almost 950 new undergraduates and 260 new postgraduates have accepted in time for Term 2 enrolment.
