Wilson,
The catalog and enrollment agreement constitute the contract between the student and the school. The student signs the enrollment agreement stating they have read and received a copy of the catalog.

I have placed many Florida statutes, that I can refer to when a student or staff member has a question. It's always good to be able to quote the law vs making claims based off memory or personal opinion.
Lisa,
Gents work off campus as you stated. They are able to enroll students and conduct business transactions.

Belen,
Absolutely! The term counselor projects an entirely different connotation and is misleading.

Jacquelyn,
Scholarships must be administered with specific guidelines and the statement "for those who qualify."

Gretchen,
By he terms you have listed, it appears your admissions process is very involved with the student to encourage understanding and commitment.

The Resource Notebook had all the required information in it; I discovered that there are some differences between an admissions representative and an agent. Both the Admissions and Agent work with prospective students for the purpose of enrolling those who qualified. I Learning that a Agent is permitted to work off campus, at the home of students or other places.
Enrollment Agreement, Scholarships, Financial Aid, Title IV

I was not informed that admission reps could not be called counselors. It is important to know the rules and relgulations governing even small details.
Jennifer,
Excellent! The notebook is a reliable friend and should always be ready when you need it.

Stanley,
It is really up to you as the primary user. I like to have materials with easy access. A big, bulky binder may not work for everyone.

That is excellent news! You are already on your path to a comprehensive resource guide.

Diana,
It's a one stop shop for your reference materials. You always know where to go to get the information you need.

Clarissa,
Orientation is an important event and attendance should be mandatory. Students who miss out on this event often have to catch up on the information that is provided.
Patty Aronoff
Mark,
All very important information! As admissions staff, we need to be able to explain these terms and how it affects the student.
