Compliance

It is critical for all staff to remain compliant with school procedures, and not skipping any steps in the enrollment process. This will help save the students and staff members time while ensuring all processes run smoothly. Therefore, this compliance training is definitely an important factor in understanding the dos and donts thoroughly.

Student Services

Recognizing and understanding student services is a critical aspect of the an admissions rep. This is important because we do not want the students to feel helpless or lost for resources once they are accepted into the school. Libraries, placement, and even counseling are all beneficial aspects of a students success in achieving their academic goals.

Graduation

In this section I learned about how different schools or institution celebrate their students completion of their courses. Some schools have something simple and cake and balloons, others schools have a full graduation celemony. It important for me as a admission representative to know about my schools graduation policy.

Admission process

The admissions process is a key part in the potential students overall success and career goals. The admissions representatives here needs to be well detail-oriented and carefully/correctly aid the prospect with the entire admissions. Also, the appropriate references such as, financial aid, need to be done to ensure the student is receiving all the correct info.

Importance of Paperwork

In this section, I learn about why all the paperwork given to incoming students needs to be signed by them and myself. This helps to protect the student, the institution, and myself. I feel that if an Admissions Representative is organized and knowledgeable they are a better help to incoming students.

The Resource Notebook

I found that the concept of keeping a Resource notebook was a key part of not just training, but to the overall functions of the job. Updating this book is also a key part of the job. This is due to the well-announced fact that new information is constantly being obtained and admissions representatives need to be kept up-to-date with the institute changes.

Credits

It is not up to admissions representative discretion if a student life experience could be used as school credits. It is not guaranteed all credits from any institutions can be transferrable to our institution.

Resource Book

For me, as a new admissions representative, "creating" , not just having a resource book is invaluable. By me printing all the major regulations that refer to my job, I will be able to comply with all the regulations. As I learn more information I will add more to my book.

Programs

As admission representative we must know all the programs that are being offered at our institution. We must know what the requirements are for all the programs.

Kaye-Ann Brown

Transfer Credits

I feel that this training was very informative in regards to transferring credits. Each institution has it's own policy regarging transfer credit. It's very important for Admission Represtative to know what their institution requires and if their is a limit

Gania Bruno-Harrold

Rules and Regulations

As admission representative we need to know more about the Statutes expecially the Florida Statutes Licensure of Institutions and the Fair Consumer Practice.

Resource notebook

The resource notebook is very important. It is a great tool and guide that an admissions representative can always go back to if they are not sure about a procedure/ policy.

Just meeting the requirements or taking it a step further...

Is it fair to your students to meet the requirements of CIE or should you push further? I feel that each school should be required to submit to the CIE the current pass rate from the organization that administers the state or national test that determines whether the student is educated enough to obtain a license from the state. Anyone can pass a test administered by a school and all tests can be made to pass by those schools. Your thoughts...

Resource book

I would consider it a lifeline for an admission rep.
