Catalog

Reading and understanding the school's catalog is a vital part of the college experience. The catalog houses information about the college. It explains the policies, tuition and fees, enrollment dates, courses and any other item that pertains the college. It is a students responsibility to read the catalog and to use it as a reference guide.

Organization

I believe that staying organized can help you in your personal and professional life. I always like to keep binders or manila folders that contain any useful information that I might want to go back and look at. I have printed out the pages from this training and then can leave it at my desk. I will be able to go back to the binder whenever I want to double check any questions I might have.

transferable credits

Is there a list anywhere that shows what transfers from where? Or do you have to contact each individual school to find out?

What Notebook do you consider buying to help me keep updated with my prospective students?

Asking Questions

As much as I like to know everything myself, it is so important to ask the right questions if you are unsure of information. Not just in a new job, but in school, in your personal life,and when working with a student. I do like to research materials when I have a question, but I like the fact that everyone is so open and understanding when a new agent has questions. A lot of the decisions that we make have a big impact on the student and the school so its important to make the right one. So,if you have a question, ASK IT!

The best element of admission for me is exciting the potential student with the information that we have to give that will help the individual.

Social Media Regulation

Admissions Paperwork

I wonder why more of the paperwork required of the admissions process can't be digitalized? It seems so outdated to have carbon copy anything, especially enrollment agreements....

Ethical Codes (B7)

(7) Refrain from making exagerated statements concerning job or employment opportunities. - One of the most common questions I get while showing prospective students and families around has to do with job placement following graduation. I'm grateful we have disclosure forms through our career services department so students and parents can see published statistics!It's tempting to want to brag, but I always direct families to the disclosure brochures.

Word of mouth is the best advertising in this area!

After completing section 3, it confirms that word of mouth in this area is one of the most powerful tools of advertising that I see. Youngstown area works fast by word of mouth. People tend to feel like they was told about a great deal or given a great opportunity, if a friend or family member brought up the idea about going to National College to receive a great career training.
