Marketing & Student Lifecycle Services Updates
As a reminder effective July 1, Missouri Online will no longer offer marketing services.
With this shared decision, each institution will be responsible for marketing support of any efforts to promote their online portfolio. We are working with each institution’s marketing team to make sure this is a smooth transition.
The Missouri Online brand and the associated brand advertising campaign promoting all four institutions will be discontinued.
Student Lifecycle Services update:
- The Student Lifecycle Services team name has been updated to Recruitment and Student Support.
- Services will focus on the recruitment of prospective students.
What’s staying the same:
The office of Missouri Online and other services we offer will remain:
- Program Coordination
- Recruitment and Student Support
- Academic Technology
- Instructional and Experience Design
- Data Solutions & Analytics
