fines for institutions

I agree that the institutions should be fined if they 'break the rules' however, these fines arent as hefty as they should be. There are a lot of sketchy places out there still and I believe that if the fines were higher, there would be less to worry about.

resource notebook

I do not see the need for a printed notebook when paper is outdated as soon as it is printed. How I would solve this problem would be to download all of the proper documentation onto a thumbdrive that everyone has. Then, everyone would need to turn it in once a month to get it updated with the latest versions. This eliminates the possibility for the information to get outdated as well as it eliminates the need to destroy trees to print the documents.

Job Market

Knowing the job market and how it flucuates can help with admissions. Employers in their specific jobs can give you insight and help you better understand the position that the student might be in. Understanding the jobs that the student has the potential to go in allows a better understanding of the classes, and when they ask why do I have to take this class, you could respond by saying how it is training you and developing you for your future career, that a variety of different classes will help them.

Marketing Materials

What is the best way to access or see the marketing materials that are used and distributed by the school?

Formal Relationship

The outline did not specify what exactly a formal relationship with the student is? The catalog is the first stage but I was confused by this term as it was not discuss previous to the quiz. Can you elaborate?

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.

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.
