I am curious to know your thoughts on the importance of proper spelling and punctuation amongst Admissions professionals. Do you believe that proper or improper use can impact a prospective students' decision to enroll? Do you believe that it can affect current students as well? Of course the increase in texting has caused many to shorten words and not bother with punctuation, but as educated professionals, we should know the difference and when to apply these accordingly. We are employed with a higher educational facility so what does it say of us when we begin an e-mail to a prospective student with "hi enrollment x"? No capitilization to begin sentences. I have even seen professionals using slang spellings, such as "thanks". If I were seeking higher education, I would never enroll with an individual or the school that employed the individual if an initial e-mail from them was littered with no capitalization, slang terms and smiley faces. Do you believe we should be the change we wish to see in our students and graduates?

Before becoming an admissions representative I had a lot of concerned for this part in particular. For the moment I can’t think of something as important as to responsibly informing a prospective student regarding his/her transferability of credits. As I’m so concerned about it, I’ll do my very best in thoroughly studying this information. I can’t think of providing nothing but the most factual information in this matter. Credits represent hard work, long hours and money. I would simply hate for a student to have his/her hard work go to waste because of the lack of the right information.

Key to the role of admissions representative is to get familiar thoroughly with all the programs an institution has to offer. Considering my own experience, I know how easy it is to overlook some programs when one focuses so much on balancing college studies with different personal responsibilities. There are so many resources a college can offer that it is crucial for the admissions representative to make a prospective student aware of all these programs. These services can vary from tutoring to counseling and it might just the right lifesaver for a student when striving for the aforementioned balance.

While it might seem tedious at first to learn every regulation regarding the admission process, I can picture being a great source of motivation the fact that at the end it will only benefit tremendously a prospective applicant who is excited about starting his/her classes. The better I study these rules the better I will do at the helping potential students with a smoother transition. At the same time, the institution I work for will be represented professionally.

I realize a lot of people have discussed this already, but being my first time in this position, and after studying this particular section, I’m much more aware as to how crucial this role is. Not only are we the first point of contact for our institutions with the public in general, but we bear great responsibility in helping prospective students make one of the most important commitments in life. I just look forward to doing my best in fulfilling all expectations in this rewarding job.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the importance of using proper spelling, capitalization to begin sentences and punctuation to end, in our role as Admissions Representatives? Of course the increase in texting has caused many to shorten words and not bother with punctuation, but as educated professionals, we should know the difference and when to apply accordingly. We are employed with educational facilities so what does it say of us when we begin an e-mail to a prospective or future student with "hi enrollment x. i look forward to seeing you soon and no that you will be successful. thanx :-)" Do you believe we should be the change we wish to see in our students and graduates?

It's great that we have individual private schools where students can acquire short term educational courses and be on the work field to guarantee a support for themselves.

Admission paperwork should be clearly stated and verbally reviewed until the student is clear on understanding all aspects of student enrollment agreement.

It would be grafting to be able to place all students, unfortunately this is not always possible. Yet we are able to give instruction on how to contact different agencies and encourage them to continue in the medical field.
