Overcoming prospective student's objections and issues...

Asking open-ended questions is a good place to start. What other techniques are available?

RAUL GUEDES

I feel it is absolutely nessesary to stay up to date and compliant with needed guidelines for admission procedures.

Product Knowledge

How important is product knowledge,when conducting an admissions interview?

Policy changes

Does the State allow for a policy (academic or fee) change once a student is enrolled?

For Patty - Follow up on Admissions Test question

Patty, Can you point to the specific section of the regs that discuss Admissions testing? The only reference that I can find is the following: "Acceptable admission scores must be in accordance with the standards of the individual examination as it relates to the student program. These minimum test scores must be published in the current school catalog." Thank you.

Maria Etienne

Admissions training

It is impoertant that the admissions training recieves the proper and most updated training so that they can maintain compliance.

Melissa Holland

Continuing education options

Besides the course offered by FAPSC, what are other types of courses are acceptable to CIE - for admissions professionals and for faculty? For example, if an admissions professional/faculty member attends an industry related conference, would that suffice? What type of confirmation/evidence is required? Thank you.

Admissions Director

The admissions diretor needs to lead by example so they have a great responsibily in their shoulder.

Conversation between admissions representative to prospective student

It is important that the admissions representative informs the student of all the possibilities that may occur. Prospective student should not be misguided at no point by the school they are planning to enroll in.

Maria Etienne

Enrollments Agreements

I feel it is important for the admissions personnel is always of aware of any changes in the enrollment agreement document.

Transfer Credits and Accreditation

The school's accreditation determines whether the transfer credits are transferable. It is important to be able to explain the differences in accreditation and how it affects the transfer of credits at your school.

Ethical Conversations

Being ethical is providing all the relevant information so the other person can make an informed decision.

meetings and keeping current

I think its a great idea to keep current and try to do so in the course of every day ... you block out time for call campaigns and then also admin and lunch and tours .. it has a time and place .. even down time is ok or multi tasking while perhaps waiting on a tour to show up

Melinda Hammon

a campus with it all on site

How exciting to work together as a team and leveraging off other departments to help the student make his own best decision ..

How exciting to return to field of education - admissions

We get to help others who want to improve their lives by advancing their education. This is a real thrill and my way of paying it forward as a guidance counselor secretly submitted my application for a scholarship when I was in high school ...I won free tuition and fees for 2 year scholarship based on my grades and positive attitude ... so once I was in school I loved it and now I can help as many others by business cards out in the community or by converting as many as a company supplies me with prospects ..

Notebook

I found the input on creating a resource notebook helpgful. It is a one stop shopping admissions "bible" of sorts. I plan on using this alot to better assist me in this role.

Institutionally / Regionally Accredited

What is a good way to blatantly describe to students the difference between Instutional / Regional / National Accreditation & how it will affect their employment post graudation?

Colleen Keyes

Marketing

I have found that marketing a school has been most beneficial (from what I have seen) both by Radio Advertisement as well as online. Radio is always a leeway into getting the word out about a new program, or a school itself. People are always driving & a majority of the time have their Radio playing while doing so. While potential students are at home - they typically utilize online search engines. I believe the best way to market out is to point something out about the school / institution that differs from other surrounding schools.

Colleen Keyes

Transfer Credits from an Accredited Institution

As an Admission Rep - It is important for students not only to inquire if the current school they are deciding to enroll in is accredited, but also if they are planning on submitting transfer credits - if that institution is accredited as well.

Marsha Wesner

Changes In Compliance
