Important to know

The regulations on misrepresentation are to help protect the potential students.  What is your experiences with this?

Did I understand that a student MUST be allowed to meet with financial aid before applying if they want to?  Why?  Is this a federal, state, or accreditation rule?  Please inform me.  I don't know.

Hello Everyone,

I believe this course is vital to every faculty's training. It is very important for us to understand the legality when it comes to teaching or providing accomodation to our students with disability. We have to put all of our peronal ideas aside. We can never assume that we know the limitations of a person because everybody does things differently. Most importantly, these refresher courses helps us to practice in a way that will help avoid lawsuits for both us and the university. We must help foster equal access to opportunity. Like the training stated, 'the laws are about assuring access, not success." We have to ensure that everyone has the same equal opportunity.

I completely forgot that any information between a professor (faculty member) and one of our counselors (academic advisor) must be included in the student record when it is asked for. Very good course, it is always good to refresh our knowledge and abide to the law. Thanks for such excelent review.

This course was a good review of information for the for profit colleges. 

When I was teaching on Campus, I had a student with disabilites. Often times her mother would leave her on campus for several hours after classes ended. It seemed unusual.

When the student had to go to the restroom she asked for help. I was concerned about liability. I explained we were not trained in helping people with the physical disabilties she had and we had no one to assist her. 

What would you have done?

I enjoy taking these FAPCS courses nut sometimes we have a very specific question on how to validate compliance issues.

How can we find specific answers after training is over?

Great information for people working for a "for-profit" institution.

It is never to late to learn new methods or skills ;no matter how long one been teaching.

This lession provided a very good overview of for profit colleges.  I found it extremely informative.

There are students with dusabilities not easy to idrntify. How to proceed with those cases if the student is not openly sharing?

This course should be reviewed by everyone. FERPA regulations are presented in a manner that is understandable and applicable. 

This traning has really reminded me of all of the changes that have taken place in the education field since the safe harbor laws were updated to more specific standards in the education field.  Many of these topics were part of communications over the past years since 2012, but it really reflects on some very specific changes regarding financial aid verfications and additional securities to protect the students among many other topics.  I also was able to review some proper language to use with students when interacting with them.  Students get upset at times becasuse of the information requested of them when applying for financial aid, but these are Federal laws that must be followed and it is very important to communicate an educate the student.  Great informatoni that can be applied every day!
