Helping students find the best resources for their needs is crucial. Especially for our students at Stratford. We have a high international student population and sometimes some of the items needed for admissions requires a few extra steps. Helping with the proper resources is a necessity!!
Helping students to access resources and also understand/explore what resources are available to them is important to help them be successful in any program.
There are many resources that can help a student, but knowing that you care and have their best interests at heart is priceless.
Really listening to obstacles and helping a student decide what is best for them, is a very rewarding aspect of admissions.
Ensure you have a list of benefits and attributes of your institution that you can readily access to relate to prostective students
Making sure the student knows they have recources and options available to them gives them a more clear persepective and it give them a comforting feeling.
Use emotional intelligence when facing enrollment challenges.
Dont fear challenges, address the challeges by clarifying, using empathy, using your tools and confirm the issues. Always give facts and benefits of enrolling in the program. Know your prospect and your product.
help students access and comprehend their feelings by talking out their issues and giving them solutions to their problems
Exploring and understanding the best use of ethical enrollment practices gives a brighter more comprehensive look at how to maintain trust, gain commitment and ultimately utilizing this information which will result in increaded enrollment.
The better you know your student, the more you can help.
Ethics and Emphaty must go hand to hand
Helping students find the best resources, making sure to listen to there situation thouroughly so that you can choose the best way to help them .
Giving prospects the proper information and resources can help their decision. Things like childcare and transportation information can help.
Letting students know that you are here for them in any situation. Knowing they feel comfortable coming to you and together we can solve any problems or concerns they may have.
This is a very important aspect for student recuitment. If we can provide an open discussion with the propective student
on how others have resolved issues that may hinder their success in school. Letting the student know that many other students face the same challenges and how they were able to resolve them.
The suggestions and comments are really helpfull. We all are faced with these type of challenges.
I totally agree with a few of the comments on how you find rewardment in admissions when you are trully helping
prospective students.
Your contributions in assisting students through their challenges will be rewarded through more graduates, happier students and more referrals. Students love to engage with other prospective students and they share their experiences, good and bad. You can see this type of learning encourages the good.
