The Reveiw and Test taking for this online course was both interactive and easy to follow. 

The class is good.

Is the hardsell generally discouraged? I see many applicants afraid to give their name and contact information for fear of endless calls and emails.

I find the list of documents and where to find them for the Resource Notebook most helpful.  This will enable me to gather all the information needed to serve our students.

Do you find it more efficient to keep paper files or use an electronci system? We currently maintain both, but are moving toward an electronic system more and more.

Sometimes some students go through hardship while attemting to finish school and if we give them the right directiion on day one, they need  to know which department they need to go for assistance in different areas. The school Support System like Student Services, Career Services, Department Chairs are a must to relate to new students. Even if they hear about it again in Orientation, we need to tell them first to bring confidence to their long awaited plans.

Does a program on probation have any affect on the overall accreditation of the school?

As an Admission Specialist of USA - University of St. Augustine, I am not required to know in-depth information for certain departments/areas, such as Financial Aid, or Career Services.  I will be able to focus more on transcript evals - the bulk of my workload.  However, in my previous position at another college, I had to know at least general information from each department so that I may answer general student questions.  I plan to become familiar with faculty/staff and the department contacts so if I am not able to answer a question that a student may have, I can… >>>

Compliance is essential to maintaining integrity and for that reason the Resource Notebook is an invaluable resource.

I had a student from a foreign country give his high school diploma to enter the course, after doing some research and contacting the school board. The student will need to go to foreign affairs with original transcripts or diploma from their country to be able to receive a letter stating that they meet the requirements. My question is can we let the student start the course without and hold their diploma until we receive the letter.

If a school closed down and you accepted those students to start where they left off in a course what would be requirement for the school that is accepting them to have in there records for those students, so they may finish the course they started. 

Can we give a link to the catalog on the school website to a prospective student?

What are some of the Titles used primarily for admissions staff? We use Admissions Representative. Are any of you using the word Agent or Specialist in your title?

is there a limit to the the marketing blast in terms of distance? Can a school advertise within it's entire state, or does it have to stay within cetain geographical boundaries/counties?

I find most people want 100% of college credits transferred from one college to another. Some individuals can be difficult when going through this process. My registrar does an excellent job doing a one on one explaining what transfers in and why.

I put the school website for the catalogue on my business card to direct the student to the catalogue when they get home. I also, pull it up during my interview.

What is your way of using the catalogue?

I have an admisisons checklist that I like to go over with each prospective student. It helps the students to understand the infomation better and gives them a guide sheet for where to find the infomation on our website.

Am I required to verbally talk about tranfer credits if the issue doesn't apply being that the catolog goes over it?

I have been teaching hybrid courses for last 10 years and I found this online resource very useful.
