Difference between representative and agent,
What exactly are the differences between an admission's representative and an agent?
Kristina,
If you work inside a school then you are an admissions representative. agents conduct business outside the place of business.

If I work inside a school, but with students in another state, am I an agent or a representative?
Schlegel,
You are an agent if you conduct business on behalf of the institution outside the institution's place of business. When you conduct business you initiated enrollment agreements, collect money or any engagement in enrollment.

Please elaborate!!! What about an institution participating in a fair to recruit student, is it done by an agent or a representative? Sometimes, a few institutions would gather in convention center to promote education in a certain field, like engineering.
Edwina ,
Correct. The title of "agent" is reserved for an admissions,staffer who. Indicts business on behalf of the school outside of the place of business.

So does this mean that a representative should only works inside the school?
Stephanie,
An agent is authorized by the school to conduct business outside of the school campus's they must be licensed by the Commission for independent Education to do so.
