** The International Admission Coordinator reports to the Assistant Vice President for International Admission and supports and enables Emerson College’s worldwide recruitment network of in-country representatives, education agents, and school counselors. The position serves as a dynamic interface between that network and the college’s internal admission processes and services, and helps move international applicants through each step of the enrollment process.  

Because our representatives and agents hold the primary relationship with prospective students and families, International Admission Coordinator will work mainly through the network rather than directly with students. The Coordinator will keep representatives and agents informed of the progress of their students in the College’s admission system, to which external partners do not have access, and provides the reports, information, and follow-up they need.

They will work primarily with partners in Asia. There are no recruitment travel responsibilities, although the coordinator will help organize and host international visiting families and familiarization tours for representatives and agents. This is an important role with a direct bearing on the college’s international enrollment and revenue goals.
** ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES*
* ● Serve as the day-to-day interface between Emerson’s international recruitment network (representatives, agents, and school counselors) and internal offices and services, including undergraduate admission and the Office of International Student Services (OISS), so that questions, documents, and decisions move smoothly in both directions
● Monitor and shepherd international applicants through each step of the admission process, from inquiry and application through document verification, admission, deposit, Form I-20, and visa preparation, identifying missing items and bottlenecks and following up through the network

● Read and write in simplified Chinese with representatives, agents, and partner schools
● Gather, verify, and organize the information needed for admission decisions (such as academic records, English proficiency, and financial documentation), apply the college’s established rules and criteria, and prepare recommendations for full admission for review and decision
● Work with designated school officials (DSOs) and OISS to hand off admitted students for Form I-20 issuance, and help representatives and agents understand the I-20 and visa steps and timelines, referring immigration questions to the DSOs
● Maintain accurate applicant records, including attribution to the correct representative or agent, and contribute data and observations to regular funnel and market reporting, flagging trends, bottlenecks, and recurring questions
● Organize and facilitate on-campus visits for international visiting families and familiarization tours for representatives and agents, in coordination with colleagues
