Schools must be honest and upfront with information for prospective students, do not mislead students.  

The main lesson here is always practice integrity on behalf of the institution and student. Making sure accurate information is given to ensure the student can make an informed decision for their future. 

Lets face it this whole thing is about being honest and not over representing a school.

this module was focused on giving accurate and truthful information. Miss leading students can result in a negative outcome for school and student.

This chapter explains the various topics that may influence a student seeking enrollment that can not be misleading or deceptive in the information provided.  These things cannot be incorrect in written format, oral, printed, photos or by omission. There should be no promise of completion of jobs and licensures after graduation. There should not be  any enticements to cover costs of enrollment or for courses.  There should not be any quotas to meet by the admission personnel to increase enrollment in the varus programs. There should not be false promises or inaccurate information passed on to the prospective students.  A lot of important details throughout this chapter. 

I have a newfound respect for marketing and admissions teams. It must be difficult to advertise to students and provide them with convincing information without sharing misleading details. we must always be aware of what we are saying and how we say it.

The objective regulations is designed to ensure that a school's eligibility for the Title IV, HEA programs is not used to suggest that quality of a school's programs is approved or endorsed by the Department of Education.  I appreciate that separation/distinction. 

A great reminder to always tell the truth when providing information about your institution. It's always the right decision to provide accurate information so students are making the right decision from day 1. This will certainly cut down on disgruntled students while in the program. 

I learnt that is is very important to provide complete and accurate information without inappropriate pressure or any inducements that would influence the prospective student's decision to enroll to avoid compromising the school's integrity.

Be sure to be accurate and honest with the students. Give correct answers.

It is essential to be completely honest and not attempt to mislead any student about the nature of any program or prospective employment opportunities that may be available after completion of the program. A school representative should never make guarantees about any job or other institution because it undermines the integrity of the school and goes against state regulations.

I have learned to always be truthful when communicating with prospective students. Stick to facts rather than opinions seems to be a smart choice. 

This is something that I have always stressed personally and professionally. It is ok to not know something. Admit it and say that you will find out. Also, it is never ok to lie. Honesty is paramount in proving integrity.

Always be honest and accurate 

It is expected that all institutions and their staff provide clear and correct information regarding their school and it's programs. Any level of deceit when discussing or promoting a school or it's program can jeopardize the institution. 

To sell the future for a person, make sure it is for them

It is important to be truthful in all aspects of student recruiting. Full transparency is paramount and never over promise. 

very important to following all rules 

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

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.
