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.
