Honesty and accuracy of information should be at the forefront of all communications with students.

The importance of being honest and to provide accurate information.  

As a general education faculty member, I need to be hypervigilant and stick to the content I teach and not link the passing or failing of the course to any actions the college may take or any impacts on their future enrollment, careers, etc.

It's very important to know the rules, regulations and laws in your the state of your institution.

With students it is important that we are honest with them and give them accurate information. Promising them that they will be able to get a job if they got to this school is an example of what not to do. We can give them/ offer them the statistics we have on hand based on placements from previous years, but we can't promise them anything. They can look at the data themselves and make a decision based off the facts we know and have on hand. 

It is important not to guarantee or give any information that can be misleading. Every statement must be backed up by a reputable source.

It is important for all Schools and their personnel to follow all Local, State, and Federal Laws and Regulations. Staying away from misrepresentation is not only the right thing to do but It's also a way to gain trust from the public, future students, Active students, and graduates.

Institutions in each state are held accountable so therefore there should not be any misinformation or exaggerated information provided to prospective students about the enrolling process and the school.

Giving the correct and full information and should follow all guide lines.

I never knew you couldnt "Hype" your school up to a certain point that becomes illegal and wrong misrepresentation, which is just crazy to know!

This section provides great reminders to NOT guarantee or imply the guarantee of anything. Also a reminder to not intentionally leave out information because that can be misleading. 

Integrity. Integrity. Integrity. Accountability. Accountability. Accountability. Compliance during all student interactions is an expectation that should never be situational or conditional. Obvious, right? Not so obvious is the individual accountability to remain abreast-knowledgeable about compliant actions, behaviors and attitudes in student interactions. Compliance is the 'law' you have to know it to abide; 'ignorance to' is not an acceptable excuse. Integrity. Integrity. Integrity. Accountability. Accountability. Accountability.

Informative thorough information regarding misrepresentation guidelines on rules and regulations.

It is extremely crucial to provide the most accurate and correct information to the potential students. Giving students false hope or incorrect information about employment can be detrimental. 

Working with integrity it is important. We need to make sure that our student is clear without missing any information. 

It's important to provide students and prospective students with accurate information to ensure misleading statements are not being made. Schools should not guarantee employment outcomes once they have completed a program. 

Misrepresentation can take many forms. One form of misrepresentation is withholding or omitting information. Not sharing certain information can be just as bad a providing false information when it results in someone making an uninformed decision. 

I understand that students may have their rights to transfer credits taken from another institution to a new one, but it must be up to the new institution to make that decision. In addition, making false promises or providing incorect information to incoming  students can lead to significant consequences for the school.

Ethics and transparency is essential to building rapport and credibility with students and the communities in which we service them. Being honest about the program, it's features and how it can potentially translate to the students career track and post-graduation goals is just as important as what the student may potentially encounter during enrollment. We have the power to positively or negatively impact the future of students so it is in our best interest and theirs to be clear and give accurate and applicable information. 

False hopes & false information should not be given to the prospective students. Honesty & integrety are very crucial part of any institution.
