Doing the right thing because it s the right thing to do...

I think that our Compliance and integrity are very important especially in FA I feel out FA department does a very good job educating our students on how to pay for school with out taking loans that are un necessary and borrow what you need to cover the cost of school only.

GRADUATION AND PLACEMENT RATES

I strongly believe it is a good idea to go over the graduation and placement rates. I know of schools where that information is never discussed. This is unfortunate because it doesn't allow the prospective student to make informed decision.

INTEGRITY OF THE SCHOOL

Integrity of the school is very important. A lack of integrity on a school employee's part can cause many problems for the school in the long run. Everyone employed by the school must remain truthful at all times because deception can lead to lawsuits, fines, school closure, and could give the the school a bad reputation.

Detail, Detail, Detail.

Higher Education

With the change in cost of education meaning that it is increasing per student. Knowledge of accreditations certification across states becomes really important. How important will online education and regulations be to the next 10 years of career education?

Sell yourself ...

In appointment setting you should not be trying to sell the student on a school they haven't physically even seen yet. The goal of the call I feel is to build rapport by selling yourself and sparking enough intrest in your school so that the student is inclined to want to meet with you and find out more.

Default Assistance

Just because a student is in default does not necessarly mean you cannot be of service to them. If you work closely with your financial aid team then perhaps they will be able to assist the student that is in default with some solutions to get their defaulted loans back in good standing. What you will gain then is a greatful student that will return to you to enroll once their loans are out of default.

Gainful Employment

In order to have successful graduate employment rates and in order to help students to be able to attain gainful employment I feel that it is vital that we really research their desired career path and focus on our program matching so that when this time comes they will be able to be successful and find gainful employment.

Best Guess may be worst decision

Sometimes it is okay to just not know off the top of your head the answer to some of the questions prospective students may ask. The best thing to do is let the student know that you can find out the answer for them or advise them of who would be able to provide them with accurate information.

Advertising and Admissions Practices

Which of the Board's policies regarding advertising and the recruiting of students do you think is most important to caution a new school owner about?

NO Gray area

When it comes to compliace there are no gray areas. It is either righ or wrong. I am very disciplined and methodical when it comes to compliance and I have no tolerance for those who try to "bend" the rules to get a student enrolled. There is too much to risk and frankly wrong is just simply wrong.
