Make every student feel like they belong

Every prospective student gets a personalized experience that makes your campus feel like home. Their sessions, their interactive campus tour app, their intended major info, all in one mobile app.

Boost Student Yield, win more applications

Become the top choice for more students next decision day. Deliver an unforgettable open house experience that gets your university more applications.

Trusted by admissions teams nationwide

From small liberal arts colleges to major state universities, Guidebook powers open house event planning for institutions that take yield seriously.

Stop losing prospective students to a generic experience

Most universities give every student the same printed program at prospective student events. Programs that often end up in the trash, leaving you no way to keep students engaged once they leave campus. Indiana Tech was stuck at 40% yield until they fixed this with the college open house app. Then they hit 82%.

Personalized schedules for every visitor

Students see the sessions relevant to their major. Parents see what matters to them. No more one-size-fits-all programs.

Interactive campus tour app

Self-guided in-person tours and virtual campus visit app options, with maps, points of interest, and audio guides built in.

Real-time updates on open house day

Room changed? Session running late? Push an update to every attendee in seconds. No reprinting. No chaos.

Your digital open house program

Live on student's phones instead of printed booklets. Updated by you in minutes. No coding or IT needed.

Built for admissions and enrollment teams

No coding. No IT department. Your team builds and updates the open house app themselves with drag and drop.

Post-event engagement

Whether it's an intimate preview day or your biggest admitted student event of the year.

Seamless check-in

QR code check-in built into the app. Know who attended, what they attended, and for how long.

The university open house app higher ed already trusts

Big visit days, last-minute changes, no room for mixed messages. Schedules, maps, faculty info, and real-time updates in one open house mobile app.

“With Guidebook, we use an audio tour guide to help prospective students navigate campus, learn more about university offerings, and feel part of the campus community - even if they’re unable to visit in person.”

Steven Kelly

University of Calgary

“It allows us to meet them where they are - digitally. We can engage with them on mobile devices while walking on campus. We want high engagement.”

Taylor Shelberg

CBU (California Baptist University)

“Our yield grew tremendously once we began using Guidebook.”

Andrea Crilly

Indiana Tech

“With schedules frequently changing, we needed a flexible solution to accommodate updates in real time. The team would print 40,000 programs to hand out at the events, which were costly, bad for the environment, and once printed, couldn’t be updated with constant changes.”

Open Days Team

University of Manchester

“With Guidebook, administrators are able to create the app themselves without any IT support and non-technical content creators can easily upload and publish content.”

Meredith Aden

University of Memphis

“It was an absolute 10. Students were incredibly engaged in the guide and made communication with them so easy. Thank you for meeting with me prior to the event to go over the attendance manager role, everything went smoothly.”
