Sounding robotic

If you use the same words and phrases with every prospective student, it takes away from your relationship. You have to relate with each one and every student is different.

Financial aid and admissions should never overlap

There too many guidelines and regulations in the FA process to expect Admissions reps to learn along with admissions guideline in my opinion.

Learning everyday

I have been in admissions for a little over a year now and I realize that no matter how long you've been doing this, you will continue to learn something new everyday. This training has open my eyes to the organization side of a admissions rep.

Marketing by Admission Representations

Since most institution have deferent forms of marketing plans. can an admission representative have a personal marketing plan that they can generate personal leads.

why is it so important to use words and terms predetermine by fla rule

Shouldn’t any company or institution have the ability to market their business the best way they seem fix, with out a third party putting them in a box. Just has long has that company or institution is being professional ethical with their marketing. My reasoning is that the main purpose of any marking strategy is to attraction as mush people to your business has possible, to give you a competitive advantage. With regulatory bodies, preset rule and statues putting you in a box, marketing wont be able to be creative, deferent.

Having agreat student services department is a great way to add value to your institution. Many admissions staff are not aware of all the services.

Admissions paperwork

It is imperative that there be a logical flow in the admissions paperwork process. More than the admissions staff eyes should go on this paperwork before submittal.

Required Admissions Training for all admissions staff

I am very interested in this training. It is a good step to educate professionals on the dos and donts of admissions. Furthermore, it provides more institutional responsibility to train.

Transfer of Credits, Meetings

It is definately helpful to be informed as to the transfer of credits from one instution to another. I have learned that so many schools only offer a set amount of credit hours unless they have an articulation agreement with another school or program. Meetings with all the institutions departments more frequently is a great idea to have effective communication within the entire organization.

Advertisements and Job placement

This is a good review of information I received recently from a FAPSC seminar here in the Orlando, FL area. I appreciate the need for a school to make sure it varifies all its placements and advertisements.
