It is important to keep current and accurate policy information as well as participate in training and professional development offered by your institution.

It's important to be familiar with the services provided through Student Services as well as the marketing strategies used and to collaborate with the respective departments.

Following a checklist and being familiar with the enrollment agreement document is key to ensure that students finish documents completely and accurately.

I've worked in Admissions for over 18 years, this module shows the importance of keeping abreast of proper admissions terminology as well as keeping up to date on policy and maintaining an organized reference binder/notebook.

I've learned the importance of ongoing training and being up to date with both campus resources and regulatory resources as well as being knowledgeable about transfer credit policy and how this will impact student interactions.

Product knowledge, campus and student resources, and marketing strategies are an integral component to incorporate with the enrollment process and continued student success. 

I learned the importance of being prepared and knowledgeable regarding the enrollment process and ensuring all documents (especially the enrollment agreement) are gone over thoroughly with prospective student to ensure compliance and institutional standards are met.

The definitions and procedural information are a great foundation for learning the fundamentals of an Admissions role.
