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.

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.

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.

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.

Understanding Your Institution

The best way to learn about the programs at your school is to review the catalogs, talk with individual who work in the education department, sit in on a class, and talk with the placement department to learn where grads find a job at.

Admission Process and Paperwork

When preparing for and conduct the admissions interview, the agent should prepare the students file with a checklist of question and discussion points that are required during the interview.

CM202

I learned that a school employee whose primary duties do not include soliciting to prospective students may engage inthe enrollment of students on the schools premises without having to secure an agent permit.

Ohio Laws for Agents

The laws for Ohio agents or students who are recruiting out of Ohio are well stated, which lets the new agent know that violating any Ohio rule whether small or big is subject to a discpline occurrence. So my question is how long does it take to get reinstated from a past occurrence?

Graduation Percentages

How do you use graduation percentages to help the prospective student decide if the school is a good fit?

testing out of programs

when going through he evaluation process, is it ok to mention the ability to test out of particular classes?

Lead aggrigators

I know that some lead sources utilize job sources to advertize, how does this differ from posting in a help wanted area?

Altering of Enrollment Agreement

As an enrollment agreement is a legally binding agreement, it is imperative that no corrections are made on a student's behalf. Also, it is very important that it is completely understood as a rep so that any questions can be answered accordingly. Great information in this particular module.

New to Career College

I am new to working for a career college however I do have experience working for a University. The general principals are pretty much the same and I'm looking forward to implementing the minor differences that were learned in this module to assist prospective students.

Transfering Credits

The ability to transfer credit hours to another institution depends on several factors. It is not permissible to tell a prospective student that all or some of their credits will transfer without a through examination by the Registar's office.

Advertising Your School

There are various laws and regulations regarding advertising higher education. Some of the requirements included not over selling the income potential of a certain degree as well as saying everyone could be admitted.

Tuition Fees

Tuition fees are standardized and apply to the course work and hours of the class. These fees are the same for all students and cannot be discounted for any reason.
