WVUP One-Stop Enrollment Center

Our Process
The One-Stop Enrollment Center was designed to serve students at WVU-Parkersburg by centralizing financial aid, registration and enrollment processes.
Pickering Associates worked with the faculty and staff of WVU-Parkersburg to accommodate all student services and ensure that students were able to easily move from one department to the next. Previously, students were standing in the hallways and outside offices throughout the school taking care of scheduling, financial aid and advising.
The new center created a triage space to determine what services a student needed, and then to direct the students to advisors for enrollment, financial aid, registration, admissions and academics. Included was a comfortable waiting area, and a new testing facility. This project was completed both ahead of schedule and under budget.
