I've learned to always give the correct information about the school. If you don't know something you should never guess and the let the perspective student know that you will get the correct information to them.
It is important to remember that information regarding all aspects of a program such as admissions, program requirements, certifications or licenses necessary for employment, and repayment of loans be disclosed to students before they enroll. Recruitment should be pursued but instead of promises, facts regarding the industry and job placement should be the standard when relaying information in order to prevent accidental misrepresentation.
I learned that recruiting and advising must prioritize transparency, ensuring no misleading statements, inappropriate incentives, or pressure that could compromise a student’s decision-making. I also learned that institutions must set accurate expectations about program outcomes (such as licensure, transferability of credits, and employment eligibility) and disclose any limitations before enrollment. In addition to, I learned that schools are fully responsible for the actions of their employees and vendors, and any form of substantial misrepresentation can trigger serious regulatory consequences.
True information and concise facts should be told.
Holding up integrity and knowing what could be referred to as fact or fiction in the long run is always in the best interest of the student.
Be honest and stick to factual information.
Always give facts and not opinions.
I learned how important it is to keep all communication with prospective students professional, clear, and compliant. it's our responsibility to provide accurate information and avoid making any promises or statements that could be misleading. I plan to apply this by being more mindful of my wording in emails or conversations and making sure everything I share follows guidelines.
I thought that it was interesting to learn that while certain occupations have substantial long term earning potential, it is important to provide a realistic outlook as to the jobs and salaries typical upon graduation.
Stating facts rather than options, is important. It provides complete and accurate information while also staying Complient.
I learned to use the facts rather than opinions when asked by a student about job placement or reputations of certain programs. I will apply this to my daily role as an instructor and inform my students on accurate job placements and regulations that the school must follow.
I learned that you want to always provide facts to prospective students without giving them a false sense of expectations regarding their program and job placement after graduation.
I learned that providing accurate information is crucial in staying compliant with the state and federal regulations. In addition, I learned ways to provide feedback to certain student responses, while making sure to be following the rules and polices.
Giving correct and truthful information is very important
Throughout this module, I have come to understand the critical importance of institutions offering students information that is both accurate and relevant. It is essential that we avoid making promises or providing any misleading statements about students’ future career opportunities. Instead, our role should be to motivate and support students in successfully completing their programs and considering opportunities for further education. Equally important is ensuring that students fully comprehend all aspects of the paperwork they are required to complete, as well as the seriousness of the commitments they are making. By delivering clear, comprehensive, and truthful information, we empower students to make well-informed decisions that will positively shape their educational paths and future careers. This approach not only fosters trust but also promotes transparency and accountability within the institution.
There must be a relationship with the institution in order to run NSLDS
I learned about state specific regulations on false representation of school information.
