Answer

in this module i learned that as admission representatives we must to know absolutely everything about the institution in which we work in order to be able to give clear and precise information to that future candidate (student) since in the prequalificaton process it is the moment when where the future student makes the decision whether to preceed to enroll or cancel everything.

Admission Staff Training Post

Thus far, this training has provided guidance on proper procedures. I found the most used out of the terms definitions. 

Admissions Staff Training Program

What I have learnt is just how important learning and taking the training program is before actually doing the job so that way I can know how to effectively do my job within the guidelines.

Legal Obligation s & Opportunities

My discussion relates to one of the quiz questions  under "Legal Obligations and Opportunities."

For the student who has Asperger's syndrome, there was no information about whether reasonable accommodations were provided to him. A decision was to be made based solely on the information provided.

I know that students with liabilities in higher learning institutions should be held accountable for their actions/ violations. However, I keep asking myself, if reasonable accommodation(s) was provided for the student.

Am I overthinking this?

I am not disputing the correct answer on the quiz because it seemed more logical than the other choices.

Any comments and or clarifications are welcomed.

informing rather than persuading

It's important when interacting with students that we are thoroughly knowledgeable about what we are discussing.  If we aren't, get someone who is, and learn from the discussion.  We also should limit our speech to informative, and not try to persuade the student as this might be misconstrued.  

Compliance and regulations

Without understanding these two main elements, I think an institution will not be able to function. 

FERPA

I don't see the rationale behind a parent being denied access to his or her college student's school records after age 18 without permission from the student. Doesn't this amount to responsibility without rights?

Compliance

Do you consider that the compliance system can distort the educational purposes of higher education institution?

Admissions Staff Training Program

I liked the organizational tips provided for an Admissions Representative. 

FERPA

This is extremely important in education.  Students knowing you will not violate their rights know they can trust you.
