Clock hours vs. Credit hour

The school with whom I am employed uses a clock hour program. I found it very interesting to learn about the difference in policy between a clock hour school and a credit hour school, in terms of tuition refunds.

Agent Requirements "Good Info"

Going through the first section of the course provide much needed and great information on becoming an agent "admissions" rep. This information was very useful and I know will only help me in my current position. Good stuff!!

Compliance

Compliance, compliance, compliance! This is so important when dealing with an educational institution. Rules and regulations are put into place in order to avoid lawsuits, satisfy customers, and provide the best quality for your institution. It also creates a standardized framework for all employees so they can do their jobs effectively and efficiently in the most organization and compliant way as possible.

Admission and Financial Aid

It is very important as a representative to know the details of the financial aid process when you are dealing with prospective students. However you have to be sure that you only discuss those things that are in compliance with the rules and regulations of the state requirements. Students must know that there is financial aid services available for those who qualify, but representatives are unable to project the amount the student could receive.

Frequency of Changes

Has anyone noticed how often the State actually makes changes? It seems that one month intervals are the recommended time frame for checking on new information, but from those of you with some experience, how often have you seen recognizable changes occur?

keeping updated on other schools' info

As an agent or admissions rep, I believe it would be important to stay up to date on what other schools in the area offer, as well as their strengths and weaknesses in order to know what edge your school may have. Has anyone had experience with this?

Accreditation

There was a few different types of accreditation titles shown. Ours was not listed there, makes me wonder how many different types of accrediations ohio offers. And can a institution be recgonized from multiple agencys?

Jody Hodge

Student Services Dept.

I found this section to be interesting because I did not realized that things like our library/resource center is manditory.

Placements and Graduation Rates

I did not realize that schools need to provide placement and graduation rates from the past 3 years. We do provide rates here- but didn't no it was the past 3 yrs. Is this a combined percentage or should they be divided not only by program but by year as well?

Resource Notebook

I look forward to completing my resource notebook so I have a quick snap shot of all of our required documents.

Rules and Regulations

I like having a Resource guide, at my side helping me learn the entire compliance rules for Ohio.

It does help to have a resource notebook. That is a good idea.

Compliance refresher

There are many policies and procedures that are not new or surprising to me but some were ones that I never really thought about. Once I read through the course, it was nice to see some of those topics come up to bring them back to the front of my mind and actively be conscious of them and re-realize their importance. Were ther any topics like that for you?
