What is mass text messaging for education?

Mass text messaging for education means sending one SMS to every student, family, or applicant who gave you their number. With Broadcast, formerly Call Loop, schools, colleges, online course providers, and tutoring centers also send ringless voicemail and voice broadcasts on the same credits, for enrollment, class starts, closures, and tuition reminders. Plans start at $15 a month.

What schools, colleges, and online programs send with Broadcast.

Admissions and enrollment

Put “Text INFO to [number]” on flyers, ads, and your website. Applicants and families get the details right away, then reminders for open houses, info sessions, webinars, and application deadlines by text and voicemail drop.

Class starts, closures, and changes

A course starting Monday, a canceled class, a snow day, or a campus closure? One send reaches every student or family by text, a voicemail drop in your own voice, and a call. If a message cannot be delivered, Broadcast can resend it on another channel.

Tuition, re-enrollment, and alumni

Tuition and payment reminders timed from each due date, re-enrollment and next-course offers, live session reminders, and alumni events. Set them up once and they go out on their own.

Messages for every part of the academic year.

Info session reminder (illustrative example)

[School]: Thanks for your interest, [First name]! Our info session is [date] at [time], on campus or online at [link]. Applications close [date]. Reply STOP to opt out.

Closure alert (illustrative example)

[School]: School is closed today, [date], because of [reason]. Buses and after-school programs are canceled. Updates: [link]. Reply STOP to opt out.

Enrollment voicemail from admissions (illustrative example)

Hi, it’s [name] from admissions at [School]. Enrollment for the [term or course] closes on [date], and your spot is still open. The link is in your email, or call me at [number].

Talk to our team

Which channels can a school or college use, and what do they cost?

Texts (1 credit per 160 characters), picture messages with flyers (2 credits), ringless voicemail (2 credits per delivered drop), and voice broadcasts (1 credit per minute, 2 with a press-1 transfer), all from the same credits. Voicemails can be recorded in your own voice or with AI voice cloning, recorded in English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese. Plans start at $15 a month.

How do I send a school closing text?

Write it before the season starts, covering who is affected, what changed (closed, delayed, early dismissal), buses and activities, and where to check for updates. On the morning, send it to your whole list by text, ringless voicemail, and voice broadcast at once. If a message cannot be delivered, Broadcast can resend it on another channel.

Does it work with our student information system or course platform?

Export student, parent, or applicant contacts as a spreadsheet and import them into Broadcast, then keep them current. Forms, CRMs, and course platforms connect through HubSpot, Mailchimp, or thousands of apps through Zapier, so a new applicant or student can join a list or start a campaign on their own.

Do we need consent to text students and parents?

Yes. Message the students, parents, and guardians who gave you their number, ask for consent on the inquiry or enrollment form, and say what kinds of messages they will get. Promotional messages need prior express written consent, and since the FCC’s 2022 ruling a ringless voicemail to a cell phone needs prior express consent. Keep student records such as grades or health details out of messages. Broadcast includes opt-out keywords, double opt-in, quiet hours, and do-not-call scrubbing. This is not legal advice.
