Accreditaion is key when convincing a student that the program at your institution is a good fit for them. It is like gold, equivalent to all the money they will spend on their education.

All students should be made aware form the earliest time possible (even after registering for classes) when it is time to apply for graduation. It gives them a tangible goal to work towards as well as creating a benchmark for future job and educational goals and application times.

I believe that admissions requirements are in place for reason.Not only to place requirments to retain qulaity students, but they also recruit students that are very likely to be successful in their chosen programs.

Although I am knew to working in the field of admissions, I also have been a long time student and I understand from both perspectives how important it is to perform and thorough and direct ransfer of credit evaluation for every student that comes through our door. Transfer credits produces and unmarketed value in many programs. They represent money, as well as hard time earned, and need to be treated as important the entrance interview.
