There are various services available to help students, beyond just offering courses they can enroll in.  It's also important for the admissions office to be aware of the promotional resources being used so they know what prospective students are hearing and seeing, and can provide them with consistent information once they arrive at the university.

The admissions processes and paperwork go beyond institutional preferences.  All of this is governed by laws and legal statutes. Failing to include or follow any of the established procedures constitutes a breach of compliance. And this issue is complicated in every aspect. There is a great deal of information to know and comply with.
