Understanding the admissions process and requirements is one of the most vital parts of the job. It's important to make sure that you are fully informed before meeting with students, so they would have the most up-to-date, first-class information prior to attending their program.

I have gained a clear understanding of how to apply my college admissions policy.

Making sure that everything is clear/visible, understandable and updated for all prospective students as well as myself.
Is very important to ensure that all the documents are provide to the students and make sure that the understand all the process clearly.
The Enrollment Agreement is lengthy and reads like a contract in most parts. Understandable. Other parts include topics that I've seen as issues at many institutions. Information the student was exposed to at some point in admissions and throughout their academic career, that they have ample access to, but is often used as a defense to issues during the program. This acknowledgement/signoff curbs a lot of that. Much appreciated.
Also, I sat down with my Campus Director to go through the form. We discussed the length and concluded that for each one of those bulleted topics was a past concern/problem that required inclusion on the document. In 10 years that 11 page agreement will probably be 30 pages. LOL!

I've learned that it is important to document throughout the process, so information does not slip between the cracks.
Based on the module, I learned it is extremely important to remain up to date on notices and regulations while also upkeeping the requirements. I also learned that my school catalog matches what is required, so I was able to identify those crucial points in my school's catalog so I can be ready for my students. Also paper work is very important and making sure all the forms are filled out correctly and accurately before the student can be considered enrolled.
I learned that enrollment agreements may be completed at a later date, but the student will not be considered complete until all documents have been received.
