Employment assistance is also called placement assistance. This is a service the school must provide to students to try to secure employment post graduation.

The Florida Administrative Code is the guidance for how the statutes are to be applied. Florida Administrative Code may be updated any time during the year. Florida Statutes are only modified during the legislative session annually and must be passed through the House and the Senate for the governor's approval.

Jonathan,
Information regarding scholarships need to be clearly outlined and contain the state "for those who qualify." Any scholarship offered should be approved by the Commission.
Patty Aronoff
Kimberly,
The Commission is no longer at the address you indicated and has not been since 2006. Please make sure your school is using the current Gaines Street address.

Many students do not not fully understand the scope of accreditation and what it means to them with respect o the education. Often, accreditation is confused with licensure which is only provided by the state.

Margret ,
Interesting....it would be very important for your school to fully provide a descriptive of the terminology. We must all be talking about the same things in the end.

Jennifer,
Terms and definitions are the language of our sector and the post secondary educational student experience. Until the foray into this part of their educational experience, many people have not come across the terms and do not understand how it affects them. As admissions representative we are obligated to make sure they understand in order to avoid mispresentation.
Patty Aronoff
Thomas,
Very good point! Everyone at the school needs to understand the terms and how they are applied at every step throughout the school.

Steven,
Transcripts must arrive as sealed documents when delivered to the school. Official transcript must have the stamp "official transcript" and having an official signature and seal for authenticity. Even a sealed transcript issued to the student is not considered official.

The enrollment agreement along with the catalog constitute the contract between the student and the instruction. The enrollment agreement must include the statement that the student has read and received a copy of the catalog.

The Commission is a consumer protection agency. Fair consumer practices should be part of every day and every interaction with students.

As a school, we cannot guarantee placement. We do, however, provide placement assistance to graduates. This extends long past graduation from the program.

Lucretia,
Tours are great! It is the first impression of the school as a whole. They get to meet current students , instructors and staff and get a first hand look at the educational experience.

You will do fine! The rules help you every step of the way. Also, if you have additional questions, the staff at CIE are ready to help. The program specialist assigned to your school would by the starting point.
