How much to tell a student

I talk to students in the High Schools, but my job is just to collect interest cards. Sometimes students have questions that I cannot answer for them because I am not their Admin Rep. Usually I tell the student to ask the Admin Rep for the program they want to enroll in. Is that sufficient?

What to do when you see a violation.

When I am out in the high schools, I occasionally encounter teachers or guidance counselors who have complaints about another school. I usually advise them to contact the OACCS and let them know what happened. Is this the best thing to do in those cases?

transfer of credit

i know most schols have a document that the student has to sign that also tells them about the transfer of credits. so if you know this document you should have no issues.

enroolment papers

i think the schools should have standardized folders for each program alredy printed and ready to go with a check list of completion

Staying Up-to-Date and Compliant

I think the best way to stay up-to-date and compliant is by visiting the appropriate websites on a regular basis, reading industry publications and follow any new laws or regulations. Is there anything else I could be missing?

Understanding Your Institution

Who or what are the best available resources for fully understanding my school? I would say Campus President, Marketing Dept, Academics, Instructors and Students. Is there anyone that I am forgeting?

Financial Aid

I was fortunate as an undergrad not to have to go through the financial aid process. However, that also means the finanical aid process seems a little daunting to me as an Admissions Rep. One of the questions I got wrong on the quiz was about when to feel like you need to handle all questions and when to defer them. Does this just come with time and experience?

Transfer Credits

It is always important to tell the student your school's tranfer credit policy. However, never speak for other schools and advise the student to contact the other school to check on it!

Enrollment Agreement

While watching my colleagues explain the enrollment agreement to prospective students, I have found it is extremely important to cover each section thoroughly. There are often lots of opportunities for the student to ask questions while going over the agreement. It is an important communication tool.
