An idea for Directors of Recruitment/Admissions

After going through this course, I asked myself, is my staff familiar with everything on the Enrollment Agreement? If so, would they be able to explain it line by line to a student if they had too?

Why not print these documents off, pass them out to our teams, and create trivia games/tests/contests on their knowledge of these extremely important documents.
