I reference the school catalog almost daily. I have only been in my position for a year and I like to use the catalog for back up. I reference attendance, dress code, and overall campus expectations. Often times I use the catalog verbage to complete advising reports regarding students. It is a great resource.
When it comes to student behavior it's helpful to show all potential students exactly what is expected of them; which in turn, hopefully, reduces the amount of student disturbances or grievances.
Program course description with the number of credits for each course and the program length. It is useful for preparing tuition credits when the prospective student has some credits to transfer to the program.
I reference grading, including makeup work and exams, and attendance policy the most.

Typically accreditation national vs regional, programmatic, then course descriptions.

of course, as a Financial Aid Officer is to assist the very best possible in financing their career eduactionan plans, I find myself frequently advising all Prospective, enrolled,former students to make sure they read and understand the difference between all of the United States Department of Education's Federal Student Assistance Programs.
