CM202

Was a long process full of necessary information in order to perform adaquately. 

first graduates

as I walked in yesterday, I ran into one of my first 3 enrollments..  this gentlemen went from scrubbing kitchens overnight at a restaurant, to a ft position within his newly chosen filed.  the excitement was beyond words.  The ability to impact a person and the direction of the career and life is an incredible responsibility I take very serious.  I slept well last night!! 

Confusion

I just want to say I absolutley love my job to see my students succeed is so rewarding, but as far this goes I am uterly confused i scored so well in all four quizes and when i complete the final I felt it was not about anything on the past four quizes. I am also frustrated because i felt i learned alot about compliance, but also the test was about admissions and Financial aid and i am education also i took this exact same course last time so am not sure why i am doing it twice.

 

CM 305

The discussions within the forums were very helpful in hearing the methods of other school practices regarding all the content of training.

 

Compliance & Education

I really enjoyed the preface of learning iwhtin the module of compliance. It was really eye opening to see the amount of regulations as well as the Regulatory Traid that is invovled for all educational institutions. It is a critical component for all to understand how one can offer a misrepresentation to a perspective student. It is so easily done on a daily bais stha twe do not even realize it!! The course was very beneficial.

CM102

With rules and regulations changing everyday I feel it is important to have a centeral place to go and get updates.  It is important that we are giving the student the right infomation at all times.  If we don't know the right infomation then we know where to go and get it.

I feel it is important to keep up to speed and to be reminded about doing the right thing.  When working in the industry for years, it becomes second nature, however, it is imperative to keep this information fresh so we can better serve and help our customer.

 

Resources for Education

I am pleased to be a part of the Itt-tech team. As an admissions representative, I am learning the many aspects of continuing your education. What experiences have you gained from your job that you did not gain in school?

Be the best

Strive to be the best at whatever you do. Rather you are a gardner or a pilot, you have a goal set to accomplish and people are depending on you. Performing your job to the best of your ability can help ensure your success!!

Nonprofit Educational Institutuion

When you are a non profit it does not mean that the student do no have to pay a tuition and they receive minimal attention and less education, actually your priorites become the student. As a non for profit instituion  can expalin to the student what is the difference between a non for profit and a for profit without negatively speaking of other schools?

My School versus Your School

Compliance says that you are not to talk about other schools, negatively or otherwise. But how does that play out in real life? A prospective student came in this morning and was looking at one of our programs. He started talking about the fact that he is looking at other schools for the same type of program. I told him, "That's fine, I encourage you to check out all your options. You need to be able to make the right decision for your specific situation." I then continued with my presentation and answering their questions. He had his father with… >>>

Students

We are the portal to help our students.  Most have no idea what they want. It is up to us to lead them in their way. 

Bieng the "right port of entry" of your institution.

As Admissions representatives we are "the port of entry" of our institutions or at least one of them. It is crucial to have the knowledge in compliance and rules, the patience, the truthful and accurate information to provide the best service in our ability. It is our responsibility to be informed and help the student feel confident and comfortable at our institutions because he is well informed before starting a program.

Important of Building Relationships

In the position of an Admissions Representative, it is extremely important to build relationships with prospective students. This builds trust between you and the student, so they can be confident in the help that you're giving them and the path that you're helping them down.

Equal

I think we should treat everyone equal when they come into our offices to better them and to better our schools.

Compliance

I think it is always important to think before you speak.  We must remain compliant as we are interacting with our potential students.  They are making a very big decision and trust us with the information we are giving them.  We have to be spot on at all times!

 

CM 305 Recruitment

My personal opinion is to treat each recruit like it's your own child or family member.  You want to be 100% truth, if you don't know the answer find it out and get back to them in a timely manner or walk them down to the department that will be able to help them.  This type of attitude is going to help with retention at the college, just imagine if every employee at the school acted in this way! How do you think this would make the student feel?

Small school perks

I think a great benefit of being with a small school is building relationships with students and them feeling comfortable to come speak with us at anytime about what they need. I think this also helps with retention as we can identify quickly those students that are stuggling and help come to a solution to hopefully help them succeed in the program.

Graduation ceremonies

Although are school has graduates every week, sometimes it is difficult to keep up with them, if they have moved, if they decided to change the field they got trained in.  I do like the idea of have an alumni celebration, and I am excited to get my team involved and to hear their thoughts and ideas

Maximizing performance

I defintely believe this course maximixes a school's performance for everyone involved. Your potential students and  your success of your school comes back to intregrity, honesty, and confidence. You are succesfuly when everyone around you is successful. It creates word of mouth and that is the best kind of marketing there is.
