The Resource Notebook

I found it handy.As I sit down with a prospect student, I go back to double check any question before I answer it.

Social Media

Social media is a great tool for marketing and referrals. I think that reps have to be careful when becoming "Facebook" friends with their students. Personal accounts should not be used for school issues.

Advertising Rules & Social Media

I'm very happy to hear that there are rules in advertising. imagine if advertising for schools was treated like advertising on infomercials with all sorts of miracle claims! It's important to attract the right students with accurate and realistic information. Social Media is a great tool for spreading the word about what student are doing and what graduate success stories are out there.

Compliance training

Compliance training is so important. Many folks join the admissions work force without any prior experience and they use "sales" tactics that they may be used to in other industries. Lots of good career schools get a bad reputation because of the bad ones that are portrayed in the news. Being compliant is the right thing to do. We take students' lives into our hands everyday.

Open Enrollment - creating Urgency?

We are an open enrollment school, however students sometimes lose urgency to complete their paperwork and get started since they are aware we cannot turn them away. Any thoughts on how to create urgency with new students?

Online paperwork and student/customer relationship building

Hello. I'm curious as with many of you I understand how critical it is to make the most of our work day and organize our time as efficiently as possible with the demands and pressures of working in Admissions. but how does everyone feels about saving time and paperwork when it comes to online registration versus building better customer/student relationship. Has it been harder to build and if so how has this affected referrals?

Mobile and Social Networks for Admissions Represetnatives

With today's youth using more and more of the internet and social medias for researching schools versus just picking up the phone or setting up appointments. How are you taking advantage of the possibilities of reaching out to potential students through online media?

Enrollment Agreement

Do most colleges and universities use their application as their enrollment agreement or do they use a separate document at the end of the entire process?

Why is important to be update as admissions representative?

The more you know about where you work and the program and student service offerings, the more confident you will feel. Meetings and ongoing training are very important to the continued professional development of an admissions representative.

e want all prospective students to feel comfortable in our institution as quickly as possible. The expectation is that no prospective student is greeted more than 5 minutes after arriving in the lobby.

What is the maximum amount of transfer credit your institution will accept (if any). The institution I work for will accept up to 50%.

Admissions Training

Admissions training both initial and ongoing are critical. I train my staff once per week in a group setting and individually as needed. This is the only way to ensure the staff has 100% up to date and accurate information. How frequently do you train?

Official Transcripts

Who on campus is eligible to open official transcripts? Is it only the Registrar? Can the DOE, President, or Program Director's open official transcripts?
