What this messaging program is

This is a transactional messaging program. It exists to make sure families do not miss something they personally signed up for. There are two kinds of message, and that is all:

  • Free workshops. When you register for a free SMARTTRACK℠ online workshop, we send a confirmation with your join link, and one reminder before the workshop starts.
  • Appointments. When you book any appointment with us — a complimentary consultation with a Certified College Funding Specialist, a strategy session, a follow-up, or any other appointment type — we send a confirmation, and one reminder before your scheduled time.

We do not send marketing or promotional text messages through this program. No offers, no promotions, no newsletters, no messages about anything you did not sign up for.

Workshops: how you give consent

We do not text anyone who has not asked us to.

For a free workshop, consent is given on the SMARTTRACK℠ registration form. You enter your mobile number, and you check a box that reads:

☐ Text me reminders about this workshop. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

Three things are true about that box:

  1. It is unchecked by default. Nothing is agreed to on your behalf.
  2. It is a separate box. It is not combined with any other checkbox on the form, and it is not bundled into the submit button.
  3. Consent is not required to register. You can leave the box untouched, register normally, and attend the workshop. If you do, we send everything by email instead — including your join link, again, before the workshop starts.

The date and time of your consent are recorded on your contact record.

Appointments work a little differently

An appointment message is about something you have just booked with us, so it is handled as part of that booking.

When you book any appointment, of any type, you give us your mobile number and you are told plainly, on the booking form itself, what we will send:

We will text you a confirmation and one reminder about this appointment at the number above. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Opting out will not cancel your appointment.

That is the whole of it — a confirmation and one reminder, about that appointment. We do not use appointment bookings to send you anything else, and booking is never conditional on receiving texts.

You can reply STOP at any time. If you do, your appointment stands and we send the details by email instead.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies. In practice it is tied entirely to what you sign up for: about two messages for each workshop you register for, and about two for each appointment you book — a confirmation and a single reminder each time. If you do not register for or book anything, you do not hear from us by text.

Message and data rates

Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier, not SMARTTRACK℠ College Funding, sets those rates. Check your plan if you are unsure what messages cost you.

How to stop, and how to get help

Reply STOP to any message to stop all texts. You will get one final message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, and after that we will not text you again unless you opt in a second time. Opting out of texts does not cancel your workshop registration or any appointment — we simply send those details by email instead.

Reply HELP to any message for help. You will get a reply with the name of the program and how to reach us.

You can also stop texts or ask a question by emailing admin@smarttrackcollegefunding.com.

Carrier liability

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier and your device, and neither is under our control.

Privacy and terms

Your information is handled under our published policies:

We do not sell your information, and we do not share your mobile number with third parties for their own marketing.
