Admission Requirements

Our Barber Academy requires for all students to have a valid high school diploma or Ged. If your under the age of 18, then the parent has to sign and agree to the enrollment plan.

Marketing material

If the students learn with a asynchronous method, should we have to notice that in the marketing material or in the institution catalog?

train to get ahead

What are the best admissions representative qualifications and training to get ahead?

transfer of credicts

any school I know can't transfer core courses... what happens when a school is shut down by the goberment and those students were almost finishing their program? do they loose all that time and money? there is any where they can go to ask?

can I transfer my credits?

This is a common questions and a common misunderstanding we get from almost every student that has taken previous classes in a different college and by any reason they do not finish...they end up wasting that time

know everything that's advertized is key!

sometimes we, as admissions rep, do not know everything that it is said outside the schol that might bring bad consequences to our job

What is more effective?

What is more effective for admissions personnel in a private school without federal finacial aid? have a call script and a set introduction-presentation?? do yiu have the experience of anything different?

Rules and Regulations

Is it ever possible for someone to always know all of the new rules and regualtions? I know you are supposed to check on them all the time, I just fell that with the speed they seem to change at, someone might hardly eer be 100% up to date. Any suggestions?

The importance of good treatment for the candidate

The most important part of the admission´s process is the way we treat to the candidates. I´ve got a lot of cases in which a new student has been recommended by an old student. The fair customer practices are essential to attract new students in the future.

Admissions Requirements

In the cases of a small private Institution where the enrollment rate is not as high as public Institutions, rather than turn students away for not meeting the admission requirement of having a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent, would you recommend a small private Institution to establish as a basic adult education program or refer students to a another school where they will be able to take a course to obtain their high school diploma, GED, or equivalent. Are there any other alternatives?

Catalog

When, within the academic offer, are there programs in another language that is not English, you need to have in the website's Catalog the other languages of the Programs?.

Admissions Paperwork and Processes

I think that is very important as an Admissions Representative that we relay the right information to our students. It is imperative that we make sure that all processes to enroll a student are accurate and have been done before a student leaves our office. Checking to make sure that we have all paperwork done correctly helps us with compliance as well and we don't have to spend time trying to fix what should have been done in the beginning.

The admission process and paper work

How often should you change the admissions packets? and what are the common reasons?

Staying up to date

I would like to know how others are staying up to date. I am on routine conference calls with HQ, stay tuned to what is occuring in the community, read the newspaper, journals, school catalog (updates), etc.

ITT-Tech

I am pleased with the training program the institution implemented. Their is an interactive process in which signatures are required of the staff members. To secure the signature you have to ask questions about their departmart and job responsibilities. It was easier for me to transition into the DOR position, because I worked as an adjunct instructor.

S3

I am working with the team of representatives and experience outages on our S3 system. Some our our new reps are not sure how to handle. I have asked the marketing secretary to put hard copies of the forms in each room as a back up. I then have to remind the reps to put the information in the system later.

licensed but not accredited

how does one attract students when their college is licensed but not yet accredited?

Enrollment Packet and Enrollment Agreement

It is very important to complete all paperwork including the enrollment agreement in order to be in compliance. We must make sure that all signatures are in place as well as the student information to avoid having to chase after students, which makes the institution look disorganized.

Catalog Knowledge

It is important to know and understand most of, if not all the aspects of the school catalog. In there we can find the answers to many of our prospective students questions and concerns regarding school. It explains the different programs, courses, requirements, student information, calendar and tuition to name a few. By knowing our catalog, we know our school and that makes the institution look professional and the staff demonstrates the level of education offered at the campus.

Admission Test

We have done away with the Wonderlick test for students. The only students required to take the test are Veterans or students in which English is their second langauage. Students are reappl;ying that did not intially pass the wonderlick test and are being accepted. Does a GED or HS DSiploma serve as the tool that says the student is capable of progressing through school
