I agree it was very informative and the information was easy to understand. There were some things I never thought about so it was a help. 

I believe some of us are naturals with interventions based on personalities and experience. With that said, sometimes, students connect with certain individuals with no hesitation especially if you speak to their level and listen to their needs. From the time of enrollment, with consistent communication interaction even after the program has started, gives the students a sense of peace. I don't just enroll them and play the role of student services post-after. I play the role of an Admissions representative and Student Services from the beginning so they have a knowing of someone is there to talk to in… >>>

I think it is very important for a student to feel wanted in the program. Sometimes I see instructors being too critical which makes a student feel defensive and want to walk away. I understand that there are different age groups and maturities, but in what positive way or feedback can I give our instructors to not deter the students away?
I feel that students have a positive connection with me at my school and can talk to me. They are able to express why they might possibly be unhappy, but there is also a comfort level that could go beyond that such as a friendship. Because I am there as student services and admissions, how do you maintain a level of too much comfort? I have not let that develop into friendships but want to make sure they continue to stay within the program.

This course made me feel more comfortable with what I am to be doing.  Right from wrong.  Some was just common sense but some you just have to learn and know.  A student coming in needs to feel comfortable in speaking with any person part of the school.  You gain their trust and then they want to enroll:)

I printed out everything from this training and am going to continuously going to review at least once a week so that I know it from front to back.  It is amazing what I didn't know and now do.

I'm glad I had to complete this training because it was very broad and much to learn and know.  This is my first time taking this.  I never realized how much compliance

When a student asks me which is quite often will I get financial aid I am very cautious to what I respond with. My response usually is, Financial Aid is available to those who qualify. For how much I do not know. Our Financial Aid director can better assist you with that process however. Is that proper and in compliance? Kelly Gibson
