Catalog vs. Enollment Agreement

It is important to remember that the catalog includes important information that the applicant needs to be informed about. It is also important to note that the signed enrollment agreement comprises the formal contract between both the school & student. The two are different; one provides important information (catalog) & the other comprises the foratl contract between the school & student (agreement).

License Renewal

I think that it is essential and necessary that every year an agent has their licensed renewed. This ensures that the agent is up to par on their skills, and is knowledgeable on the most current information within the educational system.

Jena Minik

Admissions Rep

This was an excellent lesson. It is great to know that there is consistency across the state and that institutions must follow state guidelines.

Admissions Rep

I found this class to be incredibly helpful. It is great that agents need to continually renew their permit in order to stay current.

Rebecca Gedala

Training

This training was included in my onboarding for my new job. I consider this course a great learning tool.

Amy Ehl

Admissions

For the past 10 years I have been an online Admissions Rep. Now I am in a postion where I see students face to face. What tips would you have for me?

Ads and word of mouth from happy students will help bring prospective students to your school.

Credits

What department typically determines what credits (and how many) are transferrable?

Extension of Marketing

The internet has a lot of information about schools and colleges, some of it true and some of it false. How do sites such as glassdoor, yelp, etc. impact Fortis?

Jessi Kinzer

Scholarships

Are there any specific scholarships that might be available to students that are offered through the college? This is aside from government financial aid and outside student loans.

LISA CRAIG

Social Media and Marketing

Is it appropriate to make a request to friends and family to "share" information about your school's programs, so long as you do not promise any compensation to them?

Jessi Kinzer

Admissions Rep

Since I have never worked in the education field before, I find this training to be very helpful. I am surprised that an agent or admissions representative cannot actively solicit students who are currently enrolled in other colleges (as I understand it). Can anyone please expand upon this or explain the reasoning behind it? Thank you!

Joe Ranieri

Misrepresentation

In this section I found just how much misrepresentation can affect not only the perspective student, but the school as well. Has anyone come across any questionable cases?

New Hire

Hi Everyone today is my first day. I have just been hired as an Admissions Representative and I am excited to take this course and gain knowledge of the new Rules and Regulations that the State of Ohio follows. I just completed the first module and at first did not do great but I took it again and did better. Looking foward to communicating with everyone.

Justin Leonti

School Catalog

Something that I have found very helpful is also to e-mail our school catalog to the students, that way they cannot "lose" it. I also have it posted on a board in the main office area, that was it is available to them that way as well. Hope this helps!

Paula Berger

Competitive Integrity

I found this subject matter to be very important to a Admissions Rep. There is a very thin line to be followed and keeping the competition out of the conversation is highly important. Staying positive about another institution is the simplest way to stay compliant.

Tia Simms

Representative

It is extremely important to communicate all policies of the designated school. New students must be aware of policies and the cost of going further with their education. The admissions representative must explain all of admission information clearly.

Casandra Becnel

Accreditation

May schools go through accreditation processes & annual processes which flips the whole school upside down. Unfortunately, it is something that must be done but many prospective students don't understand or even take the time to understand accreditation or the benefits that it can offers the students.

Amber Green

Staying Up-to-Date- and Compliant

I learned that it is always important to gather information as you go through and complete your agent/admissions training course and update documents on a regular basis. So that you won't have to do it all at once or back track.
