Create Your Content

With Premium Presence, you can create Posts, Events, and Programs to find, engage, and enroll students. Let’s take a look at how to make each of these.

Create a post

Posts are one way students and their parents/guardians can discover your college and the content you create. They facilitate the discovery of the college by prospective students while also nurturing and educating those already familiar with your institution. They also allow you to amplify content that students would otherwise need to search for within the College Profiles.

To create a Post:

  1. Navigate to Engage > Presence and scroll to the Content Section.
  2. Click New Content and select Post.
  3. Enter your post details including the title, an accompanying image with optional alt text, a video link (if applicable), and a description.
  4. Choose the post type: Overview, Academics, Admissions, Cost & Aid, or Student Life. This determines the display location and visibility of the post on your profile and in search results.
  5. Select up to five topics to describe your post, choosing from either the Academic Focus or Student Life sections.
  6. To publish, click Save & Publish. Otherwise, select Save as Hidden.
💡 Tips and best practices for your content

Images can be added to the card to help grab the attention of the users and visually display content. Square images work best for grabbing attention and displaying content visually. Use our tool to crop images to square shape if needed. Opt for larger images for clarity; aim for at least 400x400 pixels. Our tool will scale images to fit the card automatically.

The Description of the card allows for rich text including hyperlinks to your school's website.

The Link Field can also be used to draw attention to the most important calls to action. If your link is to a video, e.g YouTube and Vimeo, we will detect that and embed the video directly into the card.

Use Academic Focus and Student Life topics to tailor content to students' indicated interests. These topics are inclusive; the more topics tagged, the broader the audience reached.

Create an event

Events allows your team to create and manage virtual events, information sessions, and more so you can attract best-fit students. An Event can include a range of topics of interest to students or simply be a way for your college to connect with them virtually.

To create an Event:

  1. Navigate to Engage > Presence and scroll to the Content Section.
  2. Click New Content and select Event.
  3. Enter your event details including title, an accompanying image, event recurrence, date and time, and a description.
  4. Select whether this will be an In-Person or Virtual event and enter the location and registration link.
  5. Choose up to five topics that describe what your post is about. You can select from the Academic Focus or Student Life sections.
  6. To publish, click Save & Publish. Otherwise, select Save as Hidden.

Create a program

Programs allow your team to create and share upcoming summer, pre-college, and other programs offered by your institution, so you can attract best-fit students. Students can then discover and register for your Program directly on Scoir.

To create a Program:

  1. Navigate to Engage > Presence and scroll to the Content Section.
  2. Click New Content and select Program.
  3. Enter your event details such as title, image, the season of the event, run dates and duration, a description, and the program website/application URL.
  4. Choose between In-Person or Virtual event options, specify the location, and indicate if room and board will be provided.
  5. Indicate if this event offers credits and select up to five Academic Focuses that best describe it.
  6. Describe the application process and deadline, and choose the eligible current or rising grades at the start of the program.
  7. Include a description of the program's anticipated costs and specify whether financial aid and scholarships are accessible to students.
  8. To publish, click Save & Publish. Otherwise, select Save as Hidden.
