Avoiding Misrepresentation in Admissions - It's Time!

The recent Vatterott ruling has many talking ...and very nervous. Needless to say, mystery shopping and training are at heightened levels. HOWEVER...I have an additional idea. What about training the team to help students make an informed decision that might just happen to increase enrollments at the same time?

If your admissions training program still uses outdated sales techniques and offers little counseling services...it may be time to consider something new. In addition, please make sure your training progam and practices are legally vetted.

Questions to Explore the Environment

These are great questions, Andriana. I'm guessing that you are using these questions to explore your student's career interests and goals. When the conversation goes off track a bit try to remember that you can regain control of the conversation by asking another question.

The Admissions Professional's Code of Conduct

That sounds like a good plan Robert. Sometimes we need reminders or touch points to help us stay focused on our goals. What can you do to remind yourself to slow down and listen to your students at a deeper level?

Interpreting Others' Communication Preference

We can make it a lot easier on ourselves if we simply ask for the students' preferred mode of communication. Why guess, right? However, until we have that initial interaction we have to consider the different generational styles and try a few different communication methods until we find the right one. Thank you Jocelyn for your contribution to the forum.
