Broad, calendar-led communication
“Dear postgraduate students, here are this semester’s updates…”
A student awaiting clearance sees an update with no answer to their immediate concern.
More uncertainty · lower relevance
The communication gap
The same postgraduate cohort can be living very different moments.
A semester update may land with someone calmly studying, someone awaiting results, and someone wondering if their clearance is moving—all with different questions in mind.
Communication that recognises the moment
“Your clearance is being reviewed. No action is needed right now—we’ll notify you when it’s complete.”
More reassurance · stronger engagement
