I have learned a lot of things that I will carry over into my admissions position. Most of what I will take away is That following compliance guidelines is not only important for the university but also for each employee as 1 infrastructure can jeopardize a schools good standing, accreditation, financial aid and programs and more. Each violation can cost a school around $42,500 and cause loss of title IV or financial aid for that school which can affect enrollments and students experience and image of that school. It is important to be honest and to talk to prospective students about cost and time it will take to be successful in competing the program or degree. It goes beyond that as well, if a student is on the National Do Not CALL LIST, even if they are not on a state list you need to follow and abide by that DO NOT CALL rule.
As I move forward with this position, I plan to be honest with students and coworkers, and make sure that I set realistic expectations for my students and that all of the information I share is both true and honest and never intentionally mislead or mis represent any information. I will always uphold the high standards of the college and ensure that I am helping students make an informed decision about furthering their education. I will enroll only students who I truly believe will benefit from our program. I will ensure that I will communicate email and Application correctly and giving OPT out instructions in addition to my steps to complete instructions. Never Calling a student on a DNC list.
