Any Tips for Institutions Seeking Accreditation

Our site has been in business approximately 3 yrs, and we are now considering this process- any tips or resources that you think might be recommendable that we use to assist us through this journey SUCCESSFULLY?

Financial Aid and Enrollment

Financial aid awards, along with tuition costs, do exert a strong influence on the number and types of prospective students that consider attending individual colleges and universities.

Great clarification on the "Agent" description as that term could easily be misconstrued!!!

DO NOT CALL

I think it is important to get in the habit of checking prospective student, or inquiry, phone numbers against the DO NOT CALL registry. It is easy to overlook this at times when we are calling through a database of inquiries, but it is important to respect the wishes of the prospective student. By violating this policy, not only can there be formal consequences for the institution, but there can also be consequences for the institution's reputation. However, I do have a question about this policy. If a student requests information from our institution, but their number is on the DNC registry, what are the guidelines for following up with this student? Ryan

Staying up-to-date

In any industry, whether it is Admissions, Medicine or Math, an employee needs to stay updated on any changes that occur not only on the school-level, but also within the state and nationwide. This is the only way representatives can assure they deliver the best customer service.

Where Sales and Admission differs

A sale is a one-time transaction, but admissions is just one step of many until the student obtains his or her degree, graduates and begins a new career he/she can feel proud and satisfied with. Until the graduation is achieved the education experience will be difficult and challenging. But as since admissions accompanies them through this process, we can help them overcome these obstacles.

Admission Requirements and Enrollment

When a student enrolls at an institution, he or she starts an exciting new part of their life. As Admissions Representative we take them by the hand and facilitate this process for them. Explaing all the admission requirements and enrollment procedures is just one of the many aspects that we should master.

student objections

Commission Rules and Regulations

As part of the Admissions Department, it is essential to follow the rules and regulations established by both the overviewing commission as well as the individual schools. However I believe there are not only these written rules, but also unwritten integrity-related rules that we need to follow when it comes to our students. Each party deserves equal fairness.

marketing

Transfering credits

In my opinion this subject is something very important to have knowledge on how to explain or give a correct answer to a student when is asked, since many of them will transfer credits and we shoudl know the process.
