When enrolling a student it's important to set realistic expectations, and make sure the student meets the necessary qualifications. We want to set the student up for success, not failure.
I remember when these regulations weren't enforced when I was considering a private University to attend. I specifically remember the school bad mouthing one another on pricing, programs, length, etc. In hindsight I wish I had these kinds of protections at the time.
The enrollment proccess is as uch to decide if a student is suitable for a school or program just as much as if the school or program is a right fit for the student.
I found the information regarding financial aid very informative. I did not realize that they can not assist a student in completion of the FAFSA. I tmakes sense that it could sway a student from providing accurate information! I also appreciated the example of the visual misrepresentation with the 300 students placed this year. It really put in to perspective how mindful you need to be to avoid misrepresenting your school or exaggerating. Selecting a school for higher education is an important decision and it is so crucial to act with integrity and being truthful in the realistic representation of the school or program the student is interested in.
