Know that the institution web site should be comprehensive and up-to-date, there is no guarantee. For current information it is important to check with the department heads in your institution, school catalog and other publications, the commission web site, and more.

The role of the admissions rep is to have an understanding of both the training programs and student services at your institution. Directors in all departments are great resources for institution information and should be contacted regularly.

The catalog includes all the information the applicant needs to know. The signed enrollment agreement comprises the formal relationship between institution and student.

**Ensure that you know the difference between having no oversight, versus,having oversight. The Florida Commission for Independent Education was set up to protect the Florida consumers and therefore has oversight over Fair Consumer practices and admissions personnel.
