I learned the importance of knowing your specific state regulations and how those are similar/different to other states.  It is also important to be careful with the use of social media because it can be powerful but also dangerous.

It is important for institutions to understand that omission of information is considered misinformation.  It is good to keep in mind that it is ok to tell a student you will get back to them with the correct information if you don't know the answer.  That is much better than giving them wrong or midleading information.

It is important for institutions to be honest and transparent with students throughout the entire process, from the application phase all the way through the program.  Honestly and transparency will help students know what to expect and will prevent miscommunication that could lead to potential problems.  Institutions must be aware of all of the regulations so they can remain operable.  Mistakes could cause serious fines or even shutting down of the school.
