Some of the terms and definitions commonly used during the admission process:
* Tuition; how much is the school tuition
* Financial Aid available
* Salary; how much will employers pay
* Employment; can you guarantee me a job
* Do you have flexible schedule
* Is your school accredited
Words like Objective, Career Opportunities, Admission Requirements and Program Outline. These are lead to words that will give clarity to the prospective student(s) registering at our school.
I have placed information on my institution, training information, catalogs and course wheels for the courses my institution offers.
Well, definitely two of the most commonly used terms at my institution are advertising and marketing. This is because we are currently in expansion mode and are looking to increase our visibility. Although the terms are similar and somewhat interchangeable because of their practical application, they are different by definition.
Advertising deals with the actual 'product' that is being offered, Marketing deals with how that 'product' is presented to your target audience.
Program would be the other commonly used term at my institution. I frequently discuss the differences between the programs my institution offers, as well as the advantages and flexibility of them.

The notebook has to be a living document in order to be valid. Our sector is constantly changing.

Most of this information has been communicated from our company. This was great to have it reviewed in one step. This course has inspired me to make the notbook a living resource and include this course with the school catalog, e/a, accrediating code of conduct and other supporting documents.
Frank,
As the Commission is a consumer protection agency, they have standards for these. Check out the Commission rules regarding Fair Consumer Practices and Standard 11.

Frank,
Good deal! Since you are accredited, you must also copy with the regulations of that accrediting body.

Mark,
There is a provision under the regulations to offer life experience credit. It must be equivalent to the academic credit the school is giving.

Accreditation regulations are additional requirements of the state. It is important to comply with both entities.

Allida,
You should have your own copy of all the documents that the students receive including the enrollment agreement. It is better to experience the document yourself rather than discuss something you have not seen.
