Terminology

I find the terminologies very helpful. They help to properly name staff within an institution. Staff titles are important since they define job description. I find the distinction between an admissions employee and counselor, advisor.

Agents

What should you do to enforce that agents come to school meetings?

tuition assistance

Does an admission rep have to be responsible for the students to know about assistance that is available in the state of Florida concerning tuition assistance?

admissions employee

Does the employee must remember all the rules and regulations pertaining to CIE?

Being Honest pays off

Honesty pays off in the long run. Students will eventually appreciate this and will get others to enroll. It is called word of mouth.

Foreign Student Enrollments.

Foreign students would not necessarily have a social security number, alien card, etc. but would be permitted to attend classes if they were in the USA on a student visa and plan to pursue their education here and return to their country of residency thereafter. Can we enroll those students in our school programs? Is there some other permission document that they would need to acquire prior to enrollment?

Paperwork

Great info, really breaks it down and lets each individual know that they are responsible for a lot more that just filling out forms.

Being Ethical Throughout the Admissions Process

I've worked in admissions for several years and found that when I'm ethical in enrolling the student it also helps the retention rate for other departments such as academics, career services and graduation which promotes the success of the student and the school .

Incorrect Admissions Information.

I have experienced that whether you speak directly or indirectly with a prospective student, that the best way to make any corrections on information that was subsequently given out to them, is to do it in writing. This way, you have a paper trail of the corrective measure that was taken to ensure that the prospective student was accurately informed.

transfer of credits

it important to know if your institution accept credits from other college. We also need to let students know that transfer of credits is up to receiving institution

knowledge

its important to know your departments and what they do to better assist the student.

Training

We can't stay in the routine or old school. Training keeps us knowledgeable, fresh and always learning new things.

Specific Regulatory Requirements

An efficient understanding of regulatory requirements should be a requirement to in order to stay effective as well as compliant in the role of an admissions representative.

Ongoing training in Admissions

Because admissions is usually a student's first contact when learning about programs within a campus ongoing training benefits not only an admissions rep, but the student as well as the school as a whole!

Social media outcome..

I personally love social media is been ahuge bank of referrals for me....One of the best tools you can use to build your pipeline.

Admissions

I think that when ever there are changes admissions should always be informed to stay up to par with whats going on!

Placement

Introducing new students to career services department is always good in my opinion .
