It is important for institutions to provide ongoing trainings and meetings in order to keep their employees informed and compliant with regulations and policies.
I have learned that I need to stay abreast of how acceptance of credits is handled at my institution, and that some schools will also accept life experience as credits.
Staying up-to-date and compliant with all processes and procedures regulating admissions and college operations is essential to maintaining effectiveness, integrity, and student-centered practices. When admissions staff understand and consistently apply these standards, they can clearly explain enrollment requirements, program expectations, and financial obligations, which builds trust and supports informed decision-making. Compliance also plays a critical role in protecting both the institution and students from harm. Adhering to established regulations helps prevent misleading information, unlawful enrollment practices, and ethical violations that could negatively impact students.
I’ve gained a solid understanding of what several departments are responsible for and how their work shapes the overall student experience. I’ve also learned how accreditation influences higher education and why it matters for both institutions and students. In addition, understanding how transfer credits are evaluated, received, and issued allows me to guide students more accurately and confidently. By applying this knowledge, I can help distinguish our institution from others and better support students throughout their journey.
Training is ongoing in the life of an admissions representative and maintaining a Resource Notebook is essential. The task of researching and updated manuals, policies, and procedures is time consuming but vital to performing your job according to regulatory guidelines.

Being sure to have a thorough understanding of our institution's programs, policies, and regulatory requirements is very important. I will also be sure to continuously update and maintain my Resource Notebook so that I will be able to ensure that I am providing accurate information to my students. Thank you.
