Definitions
What are some of the terms and definitions commonly used during the admission process at your institution?
I placed the following documents in my resource notebook:
- Commission For Independent Education Rules
- Rule 6E-1.0032, F.A.C. Fair Consumer Practices
- Section 1005.38, F.S. Actions Against a
Licensee and Other Penalties
- Section 1005.34, F.S. Fair Consumer Practices; Condition of Operation
There are other notes that I made while reading through the material in this course - such notes have also been placed in my Resource Notebook.
The rules and regulations that pertain to the education industry are extremely important and must be followed. While I had previous knowledge about documents such as the enrollment agreement, school catalog, refund policies, and much more, it was good to read about each topic in more detail.It was interesting to read about the fines associated with not being compliant.

Patty,
Some of the most commonly used terms and definitions at our institution are:
1) Enrollment - which is registering a student to take the massage therapy program when such registration obligates the student ot pay tuition to the institution and obligates the institution to provide instruction to the student.
2) Enrollment Agreement - which is a legally binding contract that is signed by the applicants to licensed institutions as well as by authorized personnel at the institution. It forms the agreement to terms of enrollment and provides disclosures which inform consumers of important policies of the institution, which their signature indicates acknowledgement of.
3)Marketing - is a general term that referes to an overall approach to promoting our school and its massage therapy program including creating, distributing, pricing, and promoting goods, services, and ideas.
Mark,
Agents may be called admissions reps but the real definition is what their job function is. The agent operates outside the school and is authorized to conduct business, e.g. Accept enrollments.

I'm essentially printing out pages as I go. I'm fine with screen reading for 1st time exposure but I find that the printed page helps me review materials more effectively. Could well be my grey hair ;-)
