It is recommended to build your notebook of resources as you go through training and keep it up-to-date.

Staying informed about all changes is crucial to providing accurate student information.

We always need to require accurate and thorough documentation for each student as part of the admissions requirements.

In this module, I learned that ethical decision making requires recognizing one's own personal bias, emotions, and pressures that may influence actions. As an Advisor, I plan to apply this knowledge by remaining honest, protecting student confidentiality, help them make informed decisions, and provide accurate information without allowing personal and enrollment goals to cloud my judgement or compromise my integrity. 

Comment on Loice Collins's post:   That's a good thing, could you imagine all the straight "A" students there might be running around!

In todays world a persons personal information is like gold to certain individuals looking for a score. it's good to know that programs like FERPA are in place to help protect personal information from being stolen and used without the knowledge of an individual. 

I learned the admissions role and the importance of staying up to date with processes and compliance. I will implement this regularly in my work by practicing compliance within all interactions with prospective students. 

I learned the importance of knowing who to contact regarding the various aspects of the college, such as student services, if there is an alumni association and how it works, and that each institution has different policies regarding the transferibility of credits

I learned that it is vitally important to learn the organizational structure of my institution, as well as the fact that so long as my school folloes Fair Consumer Practices, the recruitment campaign can vary across institutions.

I have learned tat there may be some information that I as an admissions representative can relay regarding financial aid, but it would likely be best t refer prospective applicants to a financial aid representative. I also learned tat there is a specific process for handling files and documentation related to a student's file.
