Admission

There is so much to admission than what most people understand.

This training helped me see the importance of staying updated on school rules, policies, and the catalog.

it's not just about compliance, but about giving students the best experience.

Hearing different perspectives also gave me useful ideas for real situations.

I learned that the titles "Administration Representative'' and "Agent" are slightly different and are not necessarily interchangeable.

Disclosure vs. Representation in In-Person Communication

This topic is especially relevant for schools with in-person operations. Sometimes, casual conversations between staff and students can be interpreted as official disclosures, which may lead to compliance concerns. We are reinforcing the importance of clear communication and proper documentation to ensure that all information provided aligns with institutional policies. I’d love to hear how other schools are handling this in day-to-day interactions.

Disclosure vs. Representation

The definitions are still unclear to me.  Disclosure: published, factual statement that institutions are required to provide to students versus Rep: statements (either verbally or in writing) made by staff members to students.  Quiz question answer I got it wrong because I thought it didn't need to be documented.  However, under school representative info, it was written that "regardless of inquiry, school representatives must provide accurate and complete responses that can be documented.

Persons with Disabilities

Important to be mindful of our intent to be supportive to the student through "counsel" is OUT of our scope of practice. 

Also, it's important to know who the appropriate resources are at the institution.

The Impact of Disability

I find this to be an "eye opener". Specifically, bringing increased awareness to the fact that not all disabled individuals have a "visible" disability; yet, it is important to remember they warrant the same consideration.

Students with Disabilities

I found it interesting that a dog is considered to provide "service" to a someone with history of seizure, such as physical support; yet, a cat is NOT considered a "service" animal, even if it provides the individual with the "service" of emotional support.

Ferpa

I didn’t realize a student had the right to their information without the consent of their parents with out permission of the student. Despite the parents paying the bill

FERPA

This information was very informative and will help me ensure I am following the proper procedures.

Ferpa

I have further learned of all the situations it is ok to release like school to school information. I have had other schools deny information when a students was transferring, stating it is due to ferpa regulations and am now seeing that those request shouldn't have been denied for the type of request I was making with the student being aware and notified. 

Ferpa

So far I learned what ferpa is and how it is lined with the students best interest in keeping personal information safe by having laws in place for business to keep their personal information safe. It also went over what the information covered and the people allowed to view it with in a business. 

Student Rights and Safety

In this module I learned about the Jeanne Clery Act that was signed for Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act after an incident involving a student residing on campus. 

Staying in compliance

I've learned that with being an educator it's important to stay in compliance and do things right the first time and each time after that. Never take shortcuts or be influenced to do something outside of compliance. Although each of us have different styles of teaching, all of us have rules to follow to ensure that students are also staying within the rules set before them.
