Closed Loop USA
Membership Benefits

  • ACCESS

    Only member universities can recruit Global Freshman Certificate students, accept their GFC credits, and admit them as sophomores.

  • DEMAND

    The design of the CLR process directly benefits its member universities by providing immediate access to a select global cohort of academically qualified and fully assessed undergraduate students wishing to continue degree studies at Closed Loop USA member universities.

  • GLOBAL DIVERSITY

    The GFC cohort is truly diverse, featuring individuals from developed and developing nations alike, and providing them with an extensive list of universities to choose from globally including the Closed Loop USA member universities.

How Do Member Universities Recruit?

GFC graduates apply to Closed Loop USA Member Schools through the Wellspring Portal. These member universities can nurture, manage, and convert student applications with the knowledge that the pool of competing universities is truly limited—only 150 total when the program reaches its full scale.

Don’t Wait for Students to Apply!

Using Closed Loop’s flipped recruiting model, member universities can search the database of enrolled GFC students, invite them to apply and allow members to identify students who are a match to university programs, culture, and recruiting goals.
