Be a professional

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.

Training!

This course was very beneficial and an excellent learning tool.  

Course 251 FEEDBACK

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!!!!!!!!

 

CM305: Course Feedback

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. 

 

Course evaluation

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

Importance of Compliance

Taking this course is very relevant to what we (working in Admissions) do on a daily basis.  These questions (regarding accrediation/competitive institutions/tuition/placement/etc.) will come up on a daily basis.  Knowing how to accurately answer these questions is essential to our abilities to do our jobs correctly.  Being compliant to all regulations is absolutely necessary to guarantee that your students have an accurate understanding of what your program can offer them.

 

Compliance

This course helped me as a new employee to get a better understanding of how the Admissions Department works and the specific expectations each Admissons Representative has.  Though I don't deal directly with the students during their enrollment process, it is beneficial to know what standards our school has in place.  I believe following these rules and regulations could be challenging at times, but the advantages of transparency far outweigh the disadvantages.  This course was overall very helpful and informative.

Learned So Much

I learned so much. It helps alot to know where we stand and why. Knowing what we can and cannot say is gives me much more confident in my position.

 

CM102 Learning

I did learn a lot from this course. I learned a lot regarding financial aid and about FERPA. I did not know much about the rules and regulations regarding those issues and now I feel that it will help me greatly with my job as a Student Services Coordinator.

enjoyed the program

I enjoyed the program.  It was very informative.  While I am not in admissions or finance, I found the information important to me as I work in the GE Department.

Review of the course

This course was a great course. I was not familiar with many of the rules and regulations and the Fair Consumer Practices. Now I am on my way to practice what I have learnt and to ensure that the school reflects the best admission practices as deemed by the CIE.

We must support our students for them to be successful. By abiding by professional standards we are teaching them to model good professional practices.

Final thoughts

I was honestly pleasantly suprised with the modules this time around. I was easily engaged and held interest with the different activities, videos, and passages. I enjoyed learning more about compliance and regulations that I was not as familiar with (ie, marketing, career services).

It is all about the welfare of the students and the well being of the institution.

These courses provide great tools and information to keep institutions compliant and reinforce the importance of always provide the student with the most accurate and helpful information.

Informative

In Career Services, we consistently review regulatory and compliance rules and regulations.  It's good to be informed of the rules for other departments within the school.  In addition to learning new information, this training provided reinforcement of information I already know.

Overall Experience

This course helped me to better understand standard practices for admissions. I feel that it is helpful & definitely should be a requirement for all admissions' postions across the baord to avoid any misrepresentation of such topics.

Compliance is knowledge

After going through this course it showed me what each department compliance are and gave me a better understanding of what is required. This course has helped with some questions that came up with students that i didn't know before.

 

Integrity Benefits Everyone

One of the best things about this training is that it effectively reinforces that doing the right thing and maintaining a high level of integrity is not a bad thing, or something to be fearful of, rather it should be a natural part of daily interations to promote the best possible experience for our students.  Transparency creates an environment where students are accurately prepared for their learning experience, and helps to alleviate some of the tensions in the classroom when inflated expectations were created through superlatives in the admissions process and therefore not lived up to in the educational experience. … >>>

Marketing

If you follow "Do the Right Thing", the Marketing Best Practices naturally fall into place. You don't want to list ads in "Help Wanted" sections because the people looking there are specifically searching for jobs, not education - Not Right. You don't want to ask current students for testimonials because they might feel pressure to say something nice weather they mean it or not - Not Right. And you don't want to show visuals of great labs and equipment if you don't provide it - Not Right. Doing the Right Thing is honestly and clearly showing who we are.

Helpful Activities

Being in Career Services, it is helpful to review this information periodically to keep it fresh in our memory.  These are topics that you can never see enough of. 

I felt that have the learning activities was very helpful.  They assisted in being in the right frame of when posed with situational questions in the quizzes. 

However, it did not seem the sections were evenly distributed.  Half were very long and the other half were shorter.  With time constraints in working with students and graduates with appointments, it would be helpful for the section content to be more evenly distributed.
