Grants

Are admissions representatives able to tell you about grants available and how to go about getting them? As a former college student, I was always curious as to how people came across grants and were awarded money towards their education.

What happens to the student if the school becomes unaccredited?

If a student enrolls in an accredited institution with the assumption they will get a degree from an accredited institution, but the institution loses it's accreditation....does the student get their money back in order to apply at a new institution, do their credits transfer to an accredited institution in order to complete their degree, do they complete their degree from the unaccredited institution and do employers look at that, or are they just "stuck". It is not the student's fault it the school loses accreditation, so are their guidlines in place to protect them if this were to occur?

Attendence

We are a growing school, we had a student population of about 85 student about a year ago and now we have a 185 student, yea! With this we have a current attendance requirement of 90% so we are complaint with the DOE regulation but looking around at other schools i did not come across one school who has this high standards. The majority of then have 75-80 % requirement, can you clarify what is the industry standard which is complaint with the department of education.

We are currently holding on to all the home works which were assigned and turned back to the instructor. we tried to digitally save it hoping to save some trees, but then we have few instructor who were not too excited about it then we went back to old school method to files all these papers in individual student folders.

"if its not approved im not doing it...there is no need to reinvent the wheel"

The time that was put into the information contained in these training slides were very helpful. The information really hits home and its really does prove that if you follow what you have learned, you will become very successful at helping students change their lives...

Can-Spam Act

If a high school rep is sending out e-mails to teachers to schedule an appointment to do presentations and they do not have an existing relationship does this fall under the can-spam act?

Prospective student and placement numbers

A student should have the right to know how many students who completed the program have been placed in positions that actually required the skils that they learned from the program. For example, a former law student should not be included in the placed percentages if he or she is employed at Sears in the men's wear department.

If it is determined that a student requires a sign-language interpreter in order to have equal access (at a cost of $80K), how does this get packaged as part of their financial aid?

PROBLEM WITH FINANCIALS

We are a small welding school that offer financial assistance thru TFC.  The problem that we keep coming into is potentail students do not have funding to attend our school.   We are not accredited as of yet so this makes it a little more difficult for students.  Do you have any suggestions?

Training

As a new employee of Delta I found the compliance training very relevant to my position. I think the information presented was very important and even though I have worked in post-secondary education before I learned new information about the federal guidelines and how I can do my part to stay in compliance. I think that additional training throughout the year(s) would be very helpful and imperative to stay up to date with the new regulations and to refresh my memory of the current guidelines put in place.

Additional Training

I think online admissions representative should be able to take a sample class so they can experience what the student(s) might go through for their first onlince experience.
