What are some ways to keep on track with follow ups and enrollments?

Are obtaining certifications better then going to college

Can i use my G.I. Bill to get certifications while im enrolled at a 4 year college

I have trouble with students meeting the deadlines. I ask but dont require all of our admission requirements the first day of school, then I give them ten days from the first day of school. But yet, I still have those who don't comply... What do you do?

This is probably one of the most challenging areas for the awarding of transfer credit. It can be extremely political, as well as troublesome for an institution if not performed properly. Is there a specific training program that addresses this issue?

This is one area that seems to be getting scrutinized by school administration as a result of current economic conditions. It is becoming a tougher call either way. You can spend a lot of money carpet bombing an advertising campaign in pursuit of a dwindling student pool, or conduct technical studies to determine if a narrowly-focused marketing plan is better in these difficult times. Unless your institution is loaded with Title IV programs, I recommend pursuing the latter plan, if not for the sake of saving money in your marketing budget. The more difficult economic climate is going to force more applicants to the government money. Those institutions offering Title IV assistance will, therefore, continue to grow, regardless of the economy. Those not qualified to offer Title IV will be faced with draconian budget cuts.

Recommend that some of these questions be worded differently. The current selection of some words can be misinterpreted. The first three questions of the quiz are prime examples. Yes, I agreed with the first correct answer, for example; however, there are admissions rules, over and above the minimum standard set by the Commission, which can apply to an institution. As written, a person can easily read too much into these questions.

THE INFORMATION MUST BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND WITHOUT ANY HIDDEN FACTS

ADVERTISEMENT MUST CONVEY THE SAME MESSAGE THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE CATALOG AND THE ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT

My Institution have a well define admission and enrollment structure. All of our officials have the correct information to provide of our prospects. The Compliance Office guard that every announcement does not contain false information about our services and academics programs. My institution care for the compliance with the licenses and accreditation processes in order to maintain the integrity of the policies and procedures.

We call new students when they start, otherwise they are enrolled or active; same meaning. Thank you!

What exactly is the value of accreditation? My institution is currently scrambling to get regionally accredited (they're already nationally accredited).

I realize that graduation isn't required, but it's still great for the students. I wonder if there's something online universities could do to celebrate a student's academic achievement? Has anyone heard of anything like that?

Can a student be denied admission due to a lack of an acceptable level of English skills?

Is it okay if an admissions counselor also works for the Registrar?

Understanding of your institution includes knowing all the appropriate information to help the prospect as well as helping the school stay in compliance. If you do not fully understand your school and how it works, how can the prospect? Get a general knowledge of every department in your school to be able to give the most effective, service as possible and know how to maintain compliance.

Organization is very key to maintaining productivity. From the generation of leads, to your resource notebook oranization reflects your productivity in every way. It also reflects the way the institution runs overall in some prospects eyes.

The purpose of Admissions is to completely represent the institution accurately and ethically at all times. They must provide current information about the school, it's programs, costs, financial aid requirements, offerings and standards etc, both academically and ethically to help the student make an informed decision to attend. Some people may view it as sales, but for others, this may be a means to change their lives and so we should be should always make sure that we are always in compliance for the school,ourselves, and most important the prospective student.

New to Admissions: Why is it required by state to complete this Admissions Training program? And how long has it been required to be in effect?

I think that when dealing with prospective students, admissions counselor, should always have a log of where the that students file and paper work is. This way you always know where the students file is. You know what documents where handed in and what is where in case it goes missing. It has always helped me when I could not find a file or a document for a student. LEt me know if anyone else has any other suggestions.
