What is My Role?

I have worked in admissions before and so I have had some great experiences that influence what I believe my role is. I believe my role is ask questions and determine is the school is a good fit the student, but also that the student it a good fit for the school. Then it is my duty be create a professionsl, comfortable and pleasant admissions experience for the student.

The Accomodation Process.....

Delta is great and very concerned about its students. This shows in the day to day processes, especially for those students who do need special accomodations.

The Impact of Disability in the Classroom...

Those who are disbled should receive the same opportunity as others when education is involved. However, when in a classroom and certain distractions or outbursts are created they do need to be addressed. One person can prevent the whole class from being able to learn properly, whether they are disabled or not.

Students w/ Disabilities

I think it is awesome that we can accomodate those who are disabled. Everyone should have the opportunity to further their education, no matter what the situation.

Compliance Performance Group

This is the 4th time I have done this training through max-knowledge over the years, and it always helps to get a refreasher every year.

Attitudinal Barriers

This area really hit home for me. I've been the person to succomb to stereotypes and have looked at a disabled person in pity and I've also have limited their options because of my inexperience. So for me, personally, I need to remember you never know what a person is capable or incapable of so DON'T assume.

Universal Design

I think the best approach to use is Universal Design. You never know what a person is capable or incapable of. Having this approach will appeal to the majority.

Housing Academic Files

The academic file must be keep in a file proof lock cabinet at all times. We can never destroy these file no matter how many years the student has dropped or graduated from the school. Is this a true ststement if no what is is time frame?

Attendance

I am registrar of a campus I check daily attendance by running a 14 days away report. I check with the instructor on a daily bases to discuss any attendance that is not mark complete.

Preparing for an audit

When we are preparing for an audit we are checking all accediting bodies that are pproved for our school to make sure that we are folling the strictest guidelines. Our school catalog has been revised to match all of the department of education rules,

Accommodations

One subject matter that I felt was VERY important, is the fact that the student MUST make the institution aware of their disability to receive the proper accommodations. "It takes two to make things go right."

Dissability Questions

This takes study. There are fine lines between what is acceptable in the addmissions process and what is not

Accomodations

Accomodations that are reasonable and consistent with 504 and ADA should be adhered to.

Disabilities

Various disabilities affect different learning skill challenges - these must be learned

Disabilities

Disability access to the college has strict adherence regulations that we must be knowledgeable of

This was a great learning course! I think it will definitely help me be a great admissions representative to better assist the students!

Great course!

 

This course was very informative, it reiterated information from previous courses, as well as new material in regards to online practices and terminology.

Question

I am the campus Registrar unlike most campuses my main job is to maintain the academic files of the students. I audit my files, How can I do a better job.

Referring disabled students who have questions

I believe that even though I am an instructor and not an admission's rep, I do the best job at referring students to the appropriate offices. It simply makes sense to refer disabled students to to the appropriate offices if they have questions. This way misleading or untrue statements never exit my lips. I became aware that it was in my best interest to refer students (or parents) to the appropriate offices during my time in the Office of the Provost at my former institution. Once inaccurate information gets out, it's hard to reign it in. Helping any student, including disable students, is enhanced by referring them to the adequate offices and not running the risk of giving inaccurate information.
