HI, I have already posted on here. Great information here.

Great questions and detailed information here. Thanks everyone

FERPA

One of the most important aspects of FERPA is that schools must have written consent before releasing a student’s information to anyone other than authorized school officials. Once a student turns 18 or enters a postsecondary institution, these rights transfer to them. This protects students from unauthorized sharing of their academic or personal information and promotes accountability in how educational institutions store, access, and communicate student records.

It is important for students to understand that their academic record cannot be accessed by anyone without their written consent.

Accommodation request by student not listed by Doctor

Does the school have to provide an accommodation that the student has requested but the doctor did not list on the letter that lists other accommodations?

Quite helpful

I found the information in the course very useful.

compliance completion

It's great to be reminded each year of the importance of compliance and the significant impact it has on our organization

Staying Up-to-Date and Compliant

It is important to stay up to date with the process and the information of your institution including the laws and procedures. 

The Admissions Process and Paperwork | Origin: CM201

I learned the importance to have the accurate information for the admission process including the current rules of the Florida State Department of Education to make the students have the complete information to make the right choice.

School Safety Enhancements Act

Being that I worked in the higher education field for so many years specifically online, I could not remember hearing about the School Safety Enhancements Act, I am guessing it did not apply at the time. Once the school became affiliated with a traditional brick and mortar, we started getting notifications of different emergency activities happening. I would get notifications sometimes early in the morning. Which I thought was very informative to let not only the students know, but anyone associated with the college know also. I am glad that have things such as this in place to help, its indeed a start to assist in a moment's notice. 

Enrollment Agreement

In this module, I learned that the admission process requires a lot of paperwork.  Based on the institution are the specific guidelines for the enrollment process, but all the institutions have to follow Rule 6E-1.0032, FAC, relates to the enrollment agreements.  

What I learned

I learned about the importance of identifying the variety of terminology used in the career school sectors, such: Accreditation, Agent, Enrollment and FAC (Florida Administrative code). Also, I learned about the importance of creating a notebook as a reference guide. The notebook is a great resource that helps me to keep me informed about institutional catalogs, enrollment agreements, marketing, and other important information. In overall, this training provides important information that help me keep up to date with the regulations and policies.  

Gives you a good reminder on how to be and act professional.

This section gives you a good idea/reminder on how you should treat students and how to act in front of potential students. It gives you clear information that is needed so you can give them the right information that they need in order to become a student.

Staying Organized and Compliant as an Admissions Representative

In this module, I learned how essential it is to maintain an organized and up-to-date Resource Notebook containing all institutional, regulatory, and procedural documents. Having easy access to accurate information — such as the institution catalog, enrollment agreement, marketing materials, and Florida Commission for Independent Education rules — ensures that admissions representatives can provide transparent and compliant information to prospective students. I plan to apply this by reviewing and updating my Resource Notebook regularly, verifying that all materials reflect the most current policies and institutional standards.

Understanding My Institution and Its Marketing Practices

In this module, I learned how essential it is to fully understand every aspect of my institution — from its programs, student services, and organizational structure to the marketing strategies used to attract new students. I now see that admissions representatives play a key role in ensuring that all information shared with applicants is accurate, compliant, and consistent with institutional policies and the Fair Consumer Practices rules.

I plan to apply this by staying up to date with all approved materials, collaborating closely with marketing and student services teams, and maintaining transparency with prospective students to strengthen both trust and the institution’s reputation.
