Some of the terms and their definitions that we use at our institution include: Official Transcript: An official transcript is the University's certified statement of your academic record. It is printed on special University specific paper, and includes the official seal of the University. It is delivered to another school in a sealed envelope. Once it is opened by an individual, it is no longer considered official. Conditional Acceptance: Someone who is conditionally acceptance can be registered for classes, but can not receive any financial aid until the conditional acceptance becomes full acceptance. An example of conditional acceptance is when we are waiting on an official transcript from someone who is currently taking classes at another college or university, but we have their in-progress transcript. We will conditionally accept them until their final transcript comes in, and then will switch them to full accept if they meet GPA requirements as well. Prospects: People who are inquiring about the university, but have not made up their mind to apply.

You are interested in social media like Facebook and Twitter. How does your school use these media and what is your opinion? Our school uses a marketing specialist who handles all news forums. She manages this daily and watches to make sure we do not do anything outside of promoting our college in a healthy manner. we use social media to post news, updates and student success spot lights.

I do not think a student would be able to make an informed decision if they did not meet with the correct people on the campus tour. I think if the student is serious about enrolling it should be a requirement that they meet with certain departments at the campus upon enrolling. we follow this at our campus as a best practice to ensure the student is making the best educated decision.

Our institution will accept up to 50% of transfer credits however they have to be of a passing grade of a C or above. We also have an articulation agreement with a community college so, we have to be very sure when transferring of any credits. Our Dean and Academic dept. is heavily involved in the process which makes it easier on the rep to avoid any compliance issues

I believe the most important part of an Admissions lead is someone who will spend time each day coaching and training their employees. I think its important to do this because its easy to get burned out in Admissions. Reps want to feel important and I think there is much more than setting daily goals when dealing with Ad. Reps.

This is my first time taking this program .It has been so resourceful for my institution . Now I can organized our first Notebook that will allow us to be more effective in our organizational chart and make everyone responsible of their duties. This is a great course!

Our team is responsible for knowing a wealth of information on a variety of different programs. We hold training sessions to cover program and compliance information to insure everyone is current on these topics. For resource binders, do you recommend a regular "audit" to confirm that everyone is referencing the same accurate and current information?

Hello Everyone, How effective do you think it would be to have a resource Notebook online? I normally try to have everything in my PC and even on the go i can access most of my file on Google docs or some other cloud service like that. What do you guys thing about this idea?

I frequently find that the students I meet with about the admissions process are highly interested in the likelihood that they will receive a job upon graduation from their specific program. It is critical that I have the utmost knowledge of these statistics and I am better able to know this by studying our previous graduates, talking with current program directors, and working with the career services department at our university.

Besides continuous compliance training, Admissions Representatives can tested every quarter in Product knowledge and admissions compliance. I find it helps keep the Representative aware.

It is important to engage the other departments with the Admissions Representatives in their initial onboarding and periodically throughout the year. Guest speakers from other departments monthly as part of the admissions training throughout the year.

Our industry is under attack. Keep compliant
