Getting students to campus is harder than ever.

Students who don't show up thin counselor time, and families who arrive with questions a one-pager never answered. Guidebook won't fix yield on its own. It puts the schedule, map, and answers in everyone's hands so the visit actually does the work.

Printed packets nobody reads

Weeks of design work left on a table. Prospective students can't find parking info when they need it most.

No-shows with no signal

Last-minute changes get buried in email. Families show up to the wrong building with no way to reach them.

Tour guides flying solo

Student ambassadors run hospitality at scale with a binder and a walkie-talkie. Training churn is relentless.

Yield events that don't prove ROI

Leadership asks how engaged admitted students were. Your answer is a sign-in sheet and vibes.

One app per event, one bill per event

Separate tools for open house, yield day, orientation, and family weekend — each with its own budget approval cycle.

Virtual tours that feel like Zoom

Distant prospects still need to feel the campus. Static 360 viewers and YouTube walkthroughs don't close the gap.

Let's talk about your admission events.

Leave your details with us!

We'll show you an app live on a phone, walk through a visit or yield-event flow, and answer the questions your enrollment team has been sitting on.

One app, for every admission event.

Guidebook Unlimited gives admissions a branded app they can spin up for every event on the calendar.

Open houses, counselor days, admitted student days, yield receptions, and family weekend — one app, year round, for one flat price.

Built for the enrollment office — and every team that follows.

Admissions runs the visits. Orientation, student life, and alumni use the same platform once a student says yes.

One contract covers every department, every event, every app — no per-event fees, no surprise invoices, no procurement loop when a new team wants in.

Launch in days, not months, with support from a team who are experts in higher ed.

Your team deserves better than answering the same questions all weekend.

Ambassadors shouldn't be memorizing session times. Families and counselors shouldn't be hunting for the next stop. Guidebook gives them the schedule, map, and answers before they have to ask, so your team can focus on the conversation.

Branded campus app

Your colors, your logo, your wordmark — in the App Store and Play Store under your brand.

Interactive maps & self-guided tours

Turn-by-turn navigation, custom pins, audio narration, accessibility layers.

Personalized schedules

Separate tracks for prospective students, families, admitted students, and transfers. Real-time updates push instantly.

Registration & check-in

QR-based check-in, badge printing, arrival tracking — no more sign-in sheets.

Analytics that answer "so what?"

Download rates, session attendance, content engagement, yield correlation — data you can actually report on.

AI schedule import

Upload any format PDF, spreadsheet, Word doc, Guidebook parses it into your app. No reformatting.
