Agent Vs Representative

I felt like this wasn't clearly discussed in the overview. I know for our college the only title we are allowed to give is Representative, but the training uses the word Agent like the terms are interchangable.

Keeping Track

It is a good idea to keep track of your leads in a different ways. One could be on a computer and on a second notebook for redundancy.

Financial Aid

How do your correctly encourage students to enroll in your institution when financial aid is not an option for them, especially in this tough economy?

So as admissions representative how do we learn about credit transfer processes?

Although admissions processes vary from institution to institution, do they follow a basic pattern?

Difference between representative and agent,

What exactly are the differences between an admission's representative and an agent?

Resource notebook

I do not understand with all the changes why a printed notebook makes sense. We should have an online database that can be reviewed when needed. If there is a change, 1 person makes it and all see the change the next time they access the document.

Student Services at a small school

Currently, we have a very small student body. A lot of our students are working and going back to school and because we do not have a student services department I believe we forget about some of this things we can do to support our students efforts.

The admissions team has a very hard job.

Qualifying a perspective student

It is interesting to read about what financing options the admissions rep can discuss with the perspective student. Is every school required to have a financial aid department? Does there need to be another person who qualifies the perspective student to see if they can actually afford the program other than the Admissions Rep?

Shana Ballester

Catalog

I am surprised to see that the Catalog holds just as much weight as the enrollment agreement. Since the Catalog is a legally bound document how should changes in the catalog be implemented? Specifically when you are dealing with curriculum changes.

One Campus, One Mission

Admissions certainly has a lot on their plate in order to be compliant while attracting students that will start and stay. That said, it seems to me that the campuses that succeed are the ones where admissions, student services, financial aid, and academics can work together for the benefit of the student.
