Entrance Assessments

I believe that it is a best practice to have an entrance assessment, to ensure students are able to be successful in that particular program before an investment of time and money is made. What do you think a reasonable amount of attempts should be or should one be required at all?

Resource Notebook

I find the resource notebook to be a great tool! Regarding the License renewal, I have made a "Renewal Notebook" to keep old copies, updated copies and changes for next year readily available. I built it based off of the format I used for the resource notebook. I have been handling Admissions for the last year and wish I had this earlier!

Green Campus

I like having a resource notebook as a tool to access all important information as well as a way to keep updated on new policies and regulations. Since our campus is going green and everything seems to be available on my computer, would it be just as effective to create a notebook on my computer with all the information located in one spot? This way I can reference and update at any point without using paper?

Inviting prospective students to sit in on a class session

As part of our admissions process I invite applicants to schedule a time to visit a class that is in session. That gives them an example of the class experience that they can expect to receive as an enrolled student.

All institutions regardless of size must follow Commission rules. At first, I thought the rules regarding admissions vary from institution to institution.

Marketing Strategies

I thought it was interesting how marketing strategies often change and how important it is to know how your institution is advertising for students. This particular topic struck interest with me because it made me realize that its very important to get your name out there and noticed but one must also be mindful of the fact that; the advertising that's being implemented lines up with regulations.
