I’d love to hear what strategies help students with disabilities stay organized and engaged in online courses? I’m excited to learn from any experiences!

Does anyone have tips or tricks for helping students with ADHD stay on top of assignments and deadlines? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you!

I find the discussion on access vs. success really interesting, +

small accommodations like captions or note takers can make a big difference in learning.

From the Investigations and Disciplinary Procedures module, I learned that Title IX investigations must be prompt, fair, and impartial, with clearly defined procedures that protect the rights of all parties involved. Also, I learned the importance of due process, including timely notice of allegations, transparency in procedures, and freedom from conflicts of interest or bias. I intend to apply all of these to support campus safety and trust.

This training reinforces that effective Title IX and VAWA implementation is both a legal responsibility and an ethical commitment. Postsecondary personnel must ensure legal compliance, mitigate institutional liability, and foster a safe, equitable campus environment.  Applying these principles daily helps protect individuals, reduce risk to the institution, and foster a safer, more inclusive learning environment.

This training helps me recognize, report, and appropriately address sexual misconduct, while educating me on the mandated procedures necessary to protect both students and employees.

What are the roles and responsibilities of the school concerning students with disabilities

One thing I learned is that transfer of credits involves two key responsibilities: knowing your institution’s policies on what credits can be accepted and ensuring full disclosure to students about how their credits may transfer both into and from your institution. This includes understanding GPA requirements, accreditation status of previous institutions, limits on credit transfer, and any life experience credits, as well as highlighting disclaimers and articulation agreements so students can make informed decisions about their educational path.

I discovered that in order to ensure that students are fully aware of the requirements for admission, program-specific requirements, and any licensing or certification obligations necessary for their career goals, admissions requirements must be spelled out in detail in all official student documents, including the catalog and enrollment agreement, and must adhere to Florida's Fair Consumer Practices Statutes and Rules.By closely examining all admissions paperwork, comparing the specified requirements with the Statutes and Rules, and making sure that the catalog, enrollment agreements, and other materials are consistent, I want to enforce this. To ensure that students are completely aware of what is required of them prior to enrollment, I will also make it a practice to explain these requirements to potential students in detail, respond to any queries they may have, and seek clarification from my supervisor or the institution director as needed.

I discovered that, in accordance with Florida law, all admissions staff members must complete this training in order to guarantee accurate, fair, and compliance communication with potential students. This was different for me because in other states admissions training was not a formal requirement, so learning that Florida mandates approved training for all admissions staff was a great and surprising insight.
 
 

Very insightful to understand what Title IX and VAWA is. It's importance, process and procedures. 

I have learned a great deal about admissions office marketing materials, how schools are accredited, which documentation and charts must be maintained for compliance, and how accrediting bodies operate. I have also learned that admissions directors in the state of Florida are bound annually by statutes and regulations set forth by the institutions for which we work.

I wasnt aware that this training was required for essentially anyone in an institution of higher learning that may interact with students.  I certainly didnt realize all that were expected of Admissions staff to complete.

The point of contact and the back-up point of conduct (this is a good training opportunity for the back-up person), along with the campus president/director at a minimum, should be in the exit meeting. This is especially true if there are going to be a number of findings, citations or areas of concern, or if the information that is to be delivered is expected to be negative or confidential in nature.

For frequently requested documents, designate a person responsible for collecting, organizing, and keeping them up to date. It's important to have a designated location for these documents and at least three people who know where they are in case someone is absent on the day of a visit. This person may or may not be the primary point of contact, or they may be a secondary point of contact. It's recommended to keep printed copies in a binder that can be easily replaced and updated daily (if necessary) and quickly retrieved from a shelf when needed.

It is important that the contact person, along with the alternate contact person, be well-versed in the institution's policies and procedures. They should also have a thorough understanding of the institution's catalog and appendices. The contact person should not be a corporate employee; typically, the on-site visitor will prefer to work with a campus staff member.

En este módulo he aprendido la importancia de estar preparados de manera constante y no solo reaccionar cuando ocurre una situación inesperada. Comprendí el significado de “be ready, not surprised”, que implica tener procesos, documentación y roles claros para garantizar el cumplimiento y la correcta respuesta ante revisiones, visitas o evaluaciones.

También aprendí cómo la planificación, la organización y la comunicación efectiva dentro de un equipo son claves para evitar errores y fortalecer el desempeño institucional.

Pienso aplicar estos aprendizajes manteniendo una actitud preventiva en mis responsabilidades, organizando mejor la información, cumpliendo los procedimientos establecidos y trabajando en equipo para asegurar que todo esté en orden en todo momento, no solo cuando se acerca una evaluación.

How does FERPA compliance shape the way we assess and improve graduate student outcomes? 

I have learned that institutions must follow all rules and regulations in order to operate in a sufficient and accurate manner.

The student may need to disclose how they could be contacted if needed.

What if you realize you gave misinformation to a student after they leave? What do you do to revive yourself?
