Reporting Agent Violations

What if it were discovered that an agent from another school had been violating the policies outlined in this section? Would we have to report it to the school that agent works for? Or would we strictly report it to the Ohio Board? I wonder because if it were one of my co-workers the natural reaction would be to tell that person to stop, or to tell your boss about it. It would feel like a bias if I didn't try to treat both situations in the same manner. I guess I'm basically asking what is the operating procedure for reporting violations?

New Federal Rules as of July 1, 2011

As some of you may be aware, the U.S. Department of Education instituted several new rules that went into effect on July 1, 2011 that impact all schools that participate in federal financial aid programs. These new federal rules contain several new requirements regarding student disclosures and other policy chages that could affect the activities of admissions reps. Has your school instituted any new training initiatives to discuss these new federal rules?

Out of State Recruitment

I do believe it would be difficult to regulate every agent out there recruiting accross the United States for there school. There should be some form of national agency testing.

What is your organization's policy on refunding application fees?

It is my belief that the application fee refund should be based on individual circumstances.

Another Question Regarding the Application Fee

A student graduates from a training program then decides to enroll in another. Do you charge the application fee again or waive it? Thanks.

Truth and honesty

I belive that your conduct in all phases, from enrollment to graduation will determine your sucess. It's great that we have these guidelines.

Picture

Is it acceptable to keep a photo of the applicant in their file to remember who they are? With interviewing so many people, it is difficult to remember. If a picture is kept, is it legal to send a photo to a potential client as part of a placement service?

Social Security Number

Since we take the social security number as part of the enrollment, I would imagine it is imperative to have the folders locked up.

Out of State Recruitment

Can we have student representatives (intern) on non-Ohio college campuses help us distribute information about our post graduate program?

Knowing your product

Knowing your product is very important in this field. Everything changes almost on a daily basis so you have to be on top of it. This also helps so that you are able to explain to potential students any and all of the knowledge necessary to have to complete the program.

Phillip Medley

The enrollment process

I believe that all of the regulations protects the students. I think that this is best for the student, school, and agent. The industry is suffering right now and I believe it is because of the practices of past agents and schools. It is vital to have this processes in place to protect the industry in whole.

Phillip Medley

Out-of-state schools that recruit in Ohio

I think that this would be extremly difficult to regulate. So does this mean that all of the agents at "the nations largest private school" have Ohio agent permits. (everyone knows who I am talking about.) Does that also mean that their agents also have permits from other states as well? This just seems really hard to track.
