integrity

as much as it is the agents, and recruiters job to recruit students- it is just as important for all employers to remain 100% honest as to what their program has to offer and not to mislead any prospective students.

Mutual governing body?

Is there a mutual governing body for the Florida Statutes and Rules, policies and procedures manuals, and promotional materials? I wasn't sure if each was their own entity and if each was governed by a similar system.

Financial Aid

I realize the importance of knowing your resource notebook and being well-versed on any/all internal financial aid assistance for a prospective student. What about 3rd party assistance? Is there any programs in the state of Florida that applicants can apply at and admissions reps should be knowledgeable in?

Information Update

I will update the information of my resource notebook every week or when I need it. IÂ´ve got a question. If an student ask me about some information not including on the catalog or in the enrollment contract...Must I give him that information? I know that admissionÂ´s staff must give an accurate information but in sometimes the students or prospective students ask about things arenÂ´t related with the institution.

News and Publications

My concern is, which newspapers would you recommend for a Business School to advertise its programs? Mainly, the local newspapers are the ones being focused on, however, do you think the Magazines are a good source for Publicity?

Alumni association

speak of the Alumni Association facilitates us create a good reputation to new students in our school, a clear proof that we have done good work, and also maintain contact with graduates forever.

Maribel Martell-Herrera

Attending Staff Meetings

I agree with the training course, suggesting regular staff meetings. This is the place to exchange ideas, to know new rules/regulations, to get new updates, to get new policies, and to obtain feedback from bosses and co-workers. To also know if we can improve the way we do business and we are all in tuned following the institution's policies to maintain licensing and established protocol.

Celia Rodriguez

Meetings and Training

Meetings are so important because you get to about all the updates and you get some good ideas from other employees. And traing is very good because you always have something good to learn.

Advertisment Strategie

Advertisement plays a big roll on the schools. It calls the prospective students attention when they hear on the radio or see on a billboard all the things that the school haves to offer.
