For an ST Instructor such as myself, it had very little to do with my everyday job. A person with a good foundation in common sense and a good sense of right and wrong can probably have a sucessful career in there teaching profession without ever needing the legal and finacial background or "behind the sense" beuracracy of the USDOE. It would be nice to tailor continuing education requirements to prospected career areas of the individual. Such as, education on how to educate in the ST career for myself.

Did anyone else find the final quiz in CM251 to be VERY CONFUSING?

I have only been an Admissions Advisor for 6 months and have been very fortunate to be employed at a great school. I am always hearing about other schools that have very shady practices and are quite deceitful to their prospective students! I wish I knew a way to bring to light some of these other schools! I think schools that are too focused on enrollments and not the students are a major reason the rising school loan deficeit has been hurting this country! These schools might as well be terrorists because they are just as damaging to our economy… >>>

I have been working for education for 10 years now in various roles. Working together with different departments, we can all achieve the main goal. Students come first and it is important to remember this if someone is having a bad day. I enjoy helping students reach their academic goals.

As the Program Director of a program at my school, I have found it absolutely necessary to work hand-in-hand with the Admissions Team!  I have seen the effects of this displayed in a positive manner that has yielded that highest reward possible....the STUDENT!!  When each department collaborates together, the student will experience positive experience that will allow for their learning experience to blossom and grow and be successful at the program that they are entering.  We need to all remember that each department creates one large TEAM!!  Collaboration is the key!

I have been working in Admissions for over three years now from state to state it is good to see that each state I have been in takes compliance so seriously as I believe it to be important not only to protect the student but also the Admissions Representative

I am so excited to begin my career as an admissions agent! I love that the focus isn't really on selling, but on keeping people informed and assisting them with making educated decisions about their future. It is wonderful that all agents participate in this training to ensure that everything is fair and standardized.

After teaching for 10 years and being the Director of a school for 3, I find myself LOVING being a part of Admissions. The satisfaction of helping someone accomplish a dream, a goal or simply find a better job through proper education and training is what I enjoy doing on a daily basis. Do I get frustrted on certain days, OF COURSE! But that is part of the "rush!"

I have been in the educational field working environment since 1984.  I started in Accounting and worked my way into the last postion there I held was Junior Accountant.  I received an AS/CIS back in 1989.  At that time we started coming up on the computer system, one department at a time.  I started writing detailed instructions of how each field and instructions for each screen for the departments of the college.  It was fun to get to know a little about each department.  In time I was able to assist in the different departments as we got very busy… >>>

Greetings,

I am a department chair for the nursing program on our campus.  Learning the "agent's" role is a new side of the administration for me.  I new that there were regulations that guided admissions policies and procedures but did not know where they came from until I completed this course.  Standardization of the regulations is an excellent way to keep and "eye" on what all schools are doing and to ensure everyone is playing fair.  I found this to be a very enlightening experience!

This course proved to be very helpful in my first week of training. After completing the course and taking the final exam I feel that I am much more aware of the importance of compliance in this type of setting. It was very beneficial and I am greatful that I was able to take part in this learning experience.

CM 202 course was very informative and will help me to be successful.

Proper training of employees helps to stop bad habits from being created, especially when dealing with legal issues. This training  was very helpful in that it insured I was aware of all rules and regulations. I will apply what I have learned into my everyday practices at work. Working honestly and fairly is what will bring success to companies, teachers, students and representatives.

I found this training to be informative and beneficial to my future success.

This course is very informative. I think new employees should be obliged to take this course within the first 90 days of employment.

Like any profession, working with admissions can be challenging. You are dealing with, most of the time, young adults who are trying to make decisions for their future's. It is so very important that as an admission's rep. you provide them with the most accurate and relevant information. One of the things this course has given me is a better understanding of the rules and regs that govern my profession. You're never to old to learn and you never know it all, continued study is what make's a true professional.

This course was very beneficial and an excellent learning tool.  

I have taken a few of these online courses with the site. This was by far the most difficult course that i have ever taken!!!!!!!!

The importance of training programs such as CM305 cannot be overstated for admission representatives and recruiters but also for any school employee who is exposed to questions from prospects. The key is, unless you are a subject matter expert, do not provide "an answer" in the absence of the "correct answer". Integrity and compliance demands accuracy and truthfulness, which will benefit all involved. 

I found this course to be helpful.  The information in this course was something everyone can benefit from.
