Unlicensed Institutions being allowed to operate

What is the state doing about all the unlicensed institutions that are operating illegally in the state of Florida? Why is it the most of us continue to follow all the rules and regulations, pay all the fees associated with the CIE and do continuing education classes while other unregulated institutions are free to operate as they please even after continued complaints to the state and CIE for years? How is this fair?

Alumni Association.

Your institution may have an association that stays in contact with grads. There may be many benefits to grads such as informational newsletters, invitations to special events, life-long placement service, and more. Do you think prospective students would enjoy hearing about how your school will assist them after graduation?

Directors

In the admissions department, it is necessary to have team meetings. Our director of admissions does a great job to be "one step ahead". It is great to regroup, discuss necessary changes, continually discuss our program, and use each other as resources to better ourselves.

Unique

Knowing your program is key! Believeing in your program is imperative. Schedules, classes, student obligations, privileges-- just a few things that make my specific program so unique and I stand behind that!
