Rule 3332-1-17.2 - Question

With regard to the following: "(5) Refrain from attempting to influence a student to withdraw from a school that the student is presently attending. and (6)Refrain from encouraging a prospective student to change plans after signing an enrollment application and paying the registration free to another school." So long as the agents aren't actively seeking and initiating contact with prospective students that fall under that criteria, one wouldn't be in violation of the ethical code of conduct? Additionally, with regard to the practice of following up with potential students, after initial contact has passed... would that fall under violation if they have since enrolled elsewhere?

Accreditation Tips?

Can someone give me a tip on handling prospective students questions about accreditation and how it only pertains to certain programs?

Advertising Question

Can someone give me an example of what kind of advertising is not permitted by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges?

Qualifications for acceptance

What instances have occurred that a school would accept a person who did not meet normal basic qualifications for acceptance if any? Also Does this come up often and any advice on it?

Rule 3332 1-17.1 Question!!

In this rule it states that an agent cannot work for both the school and an outside non-school employment agency. Can someone please elaborate a little more about that?

Know your student

Not every potential student is the right person for the program they are seeking. I feel such as Nursing the person has to be going into the field for the right reasons. As admissions representatives we change lives and hopefully for the better in the end.

Changed Schools

I have been in the education field for over 10 years with 3 different schools. All have about the same processes for enrolling students with just minor differences. Years ago some practices that were condoned have caused needed changes to occur and I welcome them openly. I am impressed with the professionalism practiced at Hondros College and feel part of a total team dedicated to the success of our students

Student Loans

Why is it that so many prospective students take issue to student loans? Also, what are some good ways to overcome those objections during the Admissions process?

Binders

How many times does your schools admissions deptartment check to see reps have their binders up to date?

Transfer credit

Always best to let the student call the school and find out.

Paperwork

It's so important that the student reads every detail.

Transfer of Credits

One thing that I initially found odd in this position at this institution was the rules about transferring credits. Though I thought it would be detrimental to the recruitment and admissions process to be so stingent in the transferability process, I now understand why it is important. I believe that it shows that this institution, as a career college, really values the courses it offers, the instructors, and the overall learning process. Knowing that from start to finish the academic future of the student is compiled in the best format, for their best success, really means a lot for the credit of the school.

Licenses VS Accreditation

Licenses allow the school to give class instruction, but accreditation makes sure schools are doing what is best for studens?

graduation, certification requirements

The main purpose for students going to school is obtaining employment. The importance for students to understand not only the school's requirements but the state's as well.

High School Student

Can high school student take classes, in career schools, before the graduate?

Compliant

I just have to remember all this stuff that goes along with enrolling students and staying compliant. It's a nice bit of information.
