Job Placement

As an admissions rep, I have a strong background in corporate recruiting before I entered higher education. I know how important it is to fully explain to potential students about felonies and back ground checks and how they may hurt their outlook in their choosen field.

Qualified Students

As an admissions rep, I do see the need to add ESL to our campus. We have seen a need from potential students in this area and questions regarding ESL. Unfortunately we do not have ESL as of right now.

Background Checks and Healthcare???

I work for an organization which provides nursing education and other healthcare related programs. Does anyone know what the recommendations or best practices are regarding background checks for those looking to enter nursing, in regards to how far the inquiry should go (i.e. 7 years, 10 years, indefinitely)?

Enrollment

In order for a prospect to make an informed decision, they should have been provided with every aspect of the enrollment process, being an active student and what to expect upon graduation.

Default

Being in this business for close to 10 years now, I have seen an enormous surge in students attempting to enroll in school that have student loans in default. Let alone, having attended several schools and not complete their program of study. More needs to be done in advance to prevent students from getting in default. It would benefit them to have more knowledge about the options they have in managing their student loans.

Diploma Mills

It is so unfortunate how many people are out there thinking and feeling they have made a great decision to get their HS Diploma. Yet there are so many diploma mills out there now of days, especially with the ongoing advancements of technology, that are taking advantage of so many people trying to get a step further in life.

Qualified on Paper, Inappropriate in person

Have you (other admissions agents) ever experience situations where a person meets the basic enrollment qualifications on paper, however, you can see that they are unprofessional and most likely will not be a good fit for the program of interest? How do you handle your own prejudices in cases like the one above?

Training is essential regardless of strong sales background

Sometimes people may not fee that it is important to continue training if they feel that they have a strong background in sales, but regularly training is essential to successful completion of every interview and enrollment process.

Good Representation of your school

What do you feel would be the best way of representing your school?

Not taking the role of an Admissions Rep lightly!

I can see so far that it is of the utmost importance to become as thorough as possibly regarding training in the role as an admissions Representative. It is so much deeper than just enrolling someone.
