Technology impact to education has come a long way. I remember when students were running around trying to find fax machines. Now there are programs that can take pictures of your paperwork and send it over as a PDF, and electronic signatures, which has made the task easier to complete. Not to mention, taking classes anywhere in the world with technology.

Technology has paved the way for many opportunities. This s another reason it is very important to make sure record keeping is up to date and accurate. 

I have learned to fully inform the student about transfer credits. Know your institutions policy.

 Some have articulation agreements with other institutions.

Some institutions accept credits and some do not. There are different types of credits. 

Scheduled meetings for all faculty and ongoing training is very important to stay current. 

Know FAPSC 

A checklist to gather and update documents help ease the task of staying current. 

I know this was section of the course was indeed a refresher; I treat students' information as if it were my own. I wouldn't want no one reviewing my information without my consent. I believe it says a lot about the care and consideration we take when it comes our students and their information. 

FERPA, is indeed important to make sure records are maintained properly, even when it comes to internal sharing information, still needs to have a signature from the student. I do not remember seeing that parents are given access if a student is under 21 and has an issue with alcohol, learned something new. 

I have learned to sit in on any workshops offered from career services. Learn as much as you can about job placement information for the students. 

Student services are important. Learning resources for orientation, academic assistance, housing, placement and career services. 

Rules about ads and promotional literature are found in Subsection 6E - 1.0032 (4) F.A.C. Fair Consumer Practices. Follow FCP for marketing and ads. Marketing depends on the budget, using print ads, electronic notices through the internet, radio, TV, direct mail, flyers, events and other ad strategies. 

FERPA, is always a great refresher to have. I could not remember that institutions have 45 days to comply with access to educational records. I cannot remember if I read in the past that complaints could be file. 

It is always a great review of the information.

I have learned about the process of the enrollment agreement. How it is an important document and that it must be completed properly.

Before enrolling the student, you need to prepare for and conduct the student interview to determine weather the student meets the institution's admissions requirement. 

Students must be properly informed of the terms and conditions

Your supervisor will guide you on how to advise students during the enrollment process. 

It is vital to know the institution's policies and procedures and must be followed.

I learned the importance of understanding the vocabulary used in admissions, keeping a labeled notebook to organize important information, and becoming familiar with the Florida Commission for Independent Education. I also learned that Florida statutes and rules affect all admissions staff. I intend to apply all the I have learned by keeping my information organized, following the appropriate rules and procedures, and using what I learn to better assist students. 

Gathering and maintaining up to date information such as polices and procedures is very important.
