Admissions Training

Even with years of experience it is a must to have anuual training to stay up to date with new practices and regulations. Would you agree that it is also a great way to share ideas and sales techniques with fellow admission representatives from different institutions?

Life Experience used as Credits

This was my very first time reading about anyone using their life experience as a credit for any course. How is that credited in some institutions? What qualifies life as a credit?

Career Services

Career services is a wonderful department to have in any institution! I am curious to know the process in which career services personel goes out to reach and establish business relations with potential employers for graduates. How do they provide assistance for seeking careers without guaranteeing anything?

Transfer of Credits

When explaining the disclaimer about the transfer of credits with prospective students, how would I efffectively explain in great detail about other schools accepting transfer credits and how would our registrar know what transfer credits will be accepted in our institution?

Admissions Training

I believe that training is a very important aspect in order to be successful in any career, but is it fair to say that training is required each year because the laws are constantly changing for institutions?

Counselling in the Admission's Process

There are applicant students, primarily the older ones who come to register for a class but has a fear of competing with the recent high school graduates or others of higher learning, can you give examples of how to handle this technical situation?

Meetings and Training

One thing I have learned is information within the higher education system is constantly changing. With that said, it is imperative to attend all meetings and trainings so the representative is not only up-to-date but also so the student is getting proper information so they can make an educated and well informed decision.

Rebecca Martin

Student Services

Student services is not only crucial for the student so he/she can utilize the full benefits of being a student at the institution but also crucial in highlighting a schools features and providing benefits. I know I would have been lost in the mission of pursuing my education if it weren't for the Library and Resource Center. It's imperative during the interview process to understand the needs and wants of the student and highlight the services offered so he/she can get the most of their education.

Importance of Understanding the Enrollment Agreement!

Understanding the legally binding document, the Enrollment Agreement, is crucial if we expect the student to understand and comprehend what they are signing. How can we prepare for student questions or concerns if we as representatives are not informed ourselves? If a student were to ask us what something on the enrollment agreement means and we read it and seem puzzled ourselves, this would cause us to lose our credibility with the student and worst of all trust in the professionalism of the institution.

Admissions requirements

students under the age of 18 need a parent to co-sign on the enrollment agreement.
