Enrollment Agreement

Since changes come out often, it is always important to fully read all updated agreements. Although, they may look the same the wording can change slightly each time.

Resource Notebook

The resource notebook is a great item to have we use it all the time. It helps to not only keep everyone in the loop on upcoming events, policies and planning but it makes it easy to find and access in a moments notice.

Polices and Procedures

My school is nationwide, the campus I work at is in Fort Myers. After reading all the material, I have a better understanding of what it all represents and how the process works. We are also trained at our work place tobe sure we are stating everything correctly, but to know why now is so interesting .

Meetings

Meetings and phone conferences give me a full understanding, of any changes or issues that may be arising. Just reading email blast doesn't always give the best understanding. But during conference calls and meetings, things are discussed in great detail, that bring the email full circle. Also hearing someone else's way of dealing with an issue or concern, helps quite a bit. The meetings and conference calls also help me stay up-to-date with what's happening, and they offer a lot of support.

New Leads

I'm very new to the admissions position and even more foreign to the allied health industry. Having confidence and a lot of access to references has helped me transition to my new job. I can't know everything but I do appreciate the intranet and the phone conferences that we have, that help me stay compliant and to do my job comfortably.

Admissions Process

With the new documents needed for FMTI's admissions process, thank goodness for the check list, because it's a lot but I appreciate them, because they help keep in line with the regulations. I don't have time to know everything, but I have familiarized myself with as much as I can. I feel as if I stick with the plan that was written out for me, I will be ok. Anything outside of those plans, I can reference the regulations, and or reach out to someone who knows.

Speaking to new prospects.

We should know our catalog inside and out. we also need to be careful with what we say to new students as they will turn everything around to their benefit.

Catalogs & Enrollments

We should be up-to date with all and any changes so that we may add or remove from our catalogs and enrollment agreements.

Should there be an Admissions test?

Sales in Admissions.

The goal of a Salesperson is to sell. It is assumed, when hiring one, that they are an encouraging 'body' to use their 'product'. In education the 'product' is taking a course/class/degree program etc; How does a conflict of interest in respect to urging students to attend school not interfere with the motivation to be an ethical one?

Accreditation

Not all schools are require to be accredited although in some cases is mandatory. However it's important to let students know this information prior to enrollment in the school as this can be an important deciding factor.

Dagmara Fernandez

Learning center resources

All schools should have a learning center for students to go for help either with papers or to understand the material. The learning center I have found that is very helpful and improves student's grade and chances of approving the state exams.

Salary, fee and catalog information

Many students come to our school hoping to change careers to obtain a better job. They often ask for job outlook and salary expectations. It's ok to increase slightly the amount of salary they're expected to earn. The truth is they will be making more than their current salary. Plus with continuing education the salary increases. We always give them a catalog and enrollment information before they register for classes. It's important they read about the classes they're taking and know the fees they're paying.

Dagmara Fernandez

Staying Current

Schools regulations change often in the state to improve the experience for the students. In order for schools to stay current they have to comply with new regulations. For this reason admission representatives always need to obtain new information, stay current and attend training.
