Entrance and Enrollment Requirements are at the top of the list for terms used during admission as are Completion Requirements for our program. It is the guideline for all involved.
We discuss compliance, application process, and misrepresentation.
We discuss misrepresentation, admission's requirements, and motivating students to make a change.
One of the big ones is definately "compliance", wanting to do everything correctly and by th book.
We also stress commitment, motivation and acceptance.

Admission requirements must match as stated in the catalog. This is the compliance issue for which admissions representatives are responsible.

Hi Patty! Terms and definitions commonly used at our institution are Enrollment, Marketing, and Program.
Some of the terms that are frequently used during our admissions process are: accreditation, enrollment agreement and enrollment.
It's important that our students know about accreditation and that we are accredited because that's what allows us to be recognized by the US Department of Education, subsequently granting us Title IV funding.
Also discussed with the student is the enrollment agreement. The student is informed that the enrollment agreement is a legally binding contract that forms the agreement to the terms of enrollment and discloses important policies of the institution that they are acknowledging via their signature.
Lastly, we also discuss the actually enrollment. This process entails registering the student into programs or courses at the institution. The student will charged a tuition rate and instruction will be provided.
