We are members of a very regulated industry.  And it should be considering our usage of Title IV funding.  But contrary to popular belief, "doing the right thing" and ONLY "doing the right thing" will produce the kind of prosperity that will benefit all of our customers and employees for years to come. 

As an admisions associate, it is important that we have a "student first" attitude.  This means that we must always keep the students best interest as our top priority.  We must make sure we gain a clear concept of the student, fully and accurately explain our program specifics and provide all informatin to them so that an informed decision can be made.  As we stay compliant througout the advertising, operations, and admissions processes we are able to build credibility as an institution with not only our prospective students but to the community as well.

Having ethical practices keeps not only the school in complaince but also keep agents honest. Being able to keep the students first will help in that ethical practices. The training went over and in detail about many different ways ethical practices can be put into place starting from agents and to everyone else effected with the school.

Regulations are an important aspect of my job as an admissions representative. There are rules in place to protect students from fraudulent practices and they are very important. The training I just received will help me ensure I am always performing my job within an ethical framework. Students I enroll will have real expectations and my school will maintain and further develop a good reputation as a result.

Through  the training I just completed, I realized that information I give to prospective students, is KEY for their success on his/her journey.  We have somehow in our hands the person he/she will become in the future not only professionally but ethical and morally.

It is always a pleasure to take these courses.  I enjoy the freshness of the comments because it allows me to compare the reality of our schools with other similars.

As the receptionist, I find it hard sometimes to make sure that callers calling in understand that FERPA prohibits me from giving them information about students...even if it's simply paging them for a phone call. They tend to get so frustrated when you try to route them to Stuent Services for further assistance and act as if it's because I simply don't want to be bothered. That's the furthest thing from the truth, I'm simply following compliance set in place to protect our students.

What else have you done that qualifies?

I felt like this course was a huge value to me with maintaining organization and updating of all Notebook information. I also was able to learn additional practices affiliated with Tuition Planning and Enrollment Agreements.

All the info was great and also very well giving. thank you

The course was very interesting, and a pleasure to do.

I thought I knew everything there was to know about working fairly with individuals with disabilities but I was so wrong!  I found that I was over compensating and much too generous to the disabled students and left my "OK" students to follow the rules.  I am so much more aware of the issues, documented and undocumented that my students deal with on a daily basis and I am more aware of how quickly situations can throw a person into a tailspin.  As a teacher, I must not only be observant of the laws for the documented disabled students but… >>>

Having taken this course I now have a much better understanding of instructing those w/disabilities (seen and unseen). Presently, I have a student who uses a motorized w/c - she has CP. One day I was unsure if I would be overstepping my bounds by assisting her w/getting the door for her to leave my class; this was prior to this course. Later, that same day I saw her as she was about to enter the restroom; I asked her if she needed my help getting the door; she said she appreciated it. I spoke w/her afterwards explaining growing up… >>>

The training really helped me to know better what can and cannot be said to HS students. The rules are VERY different for a private, for-profit...and rest assured the universities ARE listening closely to what we're telling students.

There will be times when either you or someone else in your organization will provide admissions training for "new hires" share your resource notebook with them before they take this helpful course because it could be awhile before they are required to take the course.

Highly effective training.  It helped me being new to the education industry.  I would recommend new hires take during training.  It answers a lot of questions that you have during your learning process.

I really think that this course has helped me overall with the understanding needed for this position. From an outside perspective that has not been involved in this, the course had a lot of detail that explained what is needed. It helped with knowing right and wrong.

This was a great and surprisingly pleasant learning experience.  No matter what someone's experience is, I am confident that this experience would be helpful.  With so many different state regulations, it's a great idea to refresh oneself every so often. 

I feel as though this training has given me great insight to the work I will be doing. I never knew there were so many rules and regulations to the Admissions process.  I am glad I now have the tools necessary to succeed within my new career field.

I do feel this course furthered my education and brought me up to speed on some things I was unaware of. Looking forward to using some of these tools in the classroom.

This refresher really helped, as I have been in the education sector for quite sometime, and it's a great way to fine tune skills & just serve as a reminder of the must do's in admissions and other departments.
