We also have great fun with it. Most of us aren't very good (particularly when it comes to the various drafting software)so a good deal of laughing and making good natured fun of each other happens regularly. However, it does give us a good idea of what our students go through and how much effort they have to put into their amazing accomplishments.
Shiloh,
Sounds like you are off to a great start. Best of luck.
Larry,
That is so exciting! What a great way to learn more about your programs!
The way we use an organizational chart is basically names and departments. The way we fill in the blanks is by having new representatives go to each Dept Chair/Manager and ask what their roles are and which ways the two departments work together. This way, they get a chance to introduce themselves and become familiar with faces around campus. We include this as part of new representative training.
I have been with my college for nearly 18 years, but there is always something new to learn as programs of study evolve. One the best ways are the weekly training sessions we participate in with various members of the Academic staff. They often hold the sessions in one of our labs where we get an opportunity to work on various projects that our students do. As a result, we are much better equipped to discuss these programs with our prospective students.
I just started here 4 days ago, so I am obviously still learning. In the past four days however, I have learned about the programs offered, cost of tuition, how reps interact with students on a continuing basis, and other issues. I've learned alot so far, but have a long way to go.
Well i have been a admission rep since dec 2010 so iam still learing. i just read as much as possible and gain knowlege from my co worker
I feel my knowledge about my institutuion is above average. I know the organizational chart very well and when I am questions and/or concerns I know who to go to. I know the different programs we offer, the length, the class times, the instructors, class sizes, accreditation, attendance policies and more. I feel I can educate a prospective student on our culture and our policies and procedures.
My school has been involved in higher education since 1969; they opened my location in Fort Lauderdale in 1991. We are accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools to award Associate and Bachelors of Science degrees and are authorized to operate in Florida per the Commission for Independent Education in Tallahassee.
I am knowledgeable of all facets of our academy our organizational chart is cleared and well-defined.
I feel that I'm extremely knowledgeable about our academy and the programs we offer. I have to be in my position as an Admissions director. I've studied our catalog, attended financial aid training and seminars, sit in marketing meetings, and attended staff meetings to work closely with educators and the job placement advisor. I do plan on sitting in some classes to learn more about the classroom environment. We of course are on top of job placement and educate prospective students on that but I wasnt aware it was required . I'm happy to hear that!
The organizational chart is a good tool. The function of each department is important to know. It also gives you a list of people with the functions that way you know who is responsible for each job.
I am very knoweggable about my institution.I have worked at my institution for 3 years for keeping a good relationship remain between all departments.
Matthew,
The Program Specialists and other staff at CIE are always willing to assist. Just give them a call.
Hi,
I have been involved in the planning and development of my institution, at an executive level, from the inception of the college. Thus, I am pretty well aware of all of the school's policies, procedures and regulations.
I know how to:
- Prepare for license renewal
- Prepare for site visits
- Word catalogs and advertising to meet state approval etc.
One suggestion I would offer to those new to the process is to use the CIE as a resource. If someone in your department doesn't know the answer to your question, review the online materials available on CIE's web-site. You have access to a wealth of information.
I would rate myself 9 of 10 so far, since I work for a small company I find the information very accessible. However by taking this training I have educated myself in more detail from catalogs, program descriptions and marketing materials. I have discovered much more about accreditation as well!
I also feel I know a lot about my institution. What also helped me with the admission process is actually sitting in on several courses and speaking with some of the professors at my institution. I am so elated to work for such a prestigious institution. Things change here so much that it is almost impossible for me to stop learning new things.
Iam very knowledgable about my institution, I view the catalog know the rules and regulation. meet with all teacher, student support services, and placement deparment.
Im knowledgable about my instution. I know all rules and regulation view the catalog, meet with the teacher, placement servifce, financial aid, and student support
I have been working in my institucion for about 3 months and I still learning everyday about Admission Advisor.
As an Admission Advisor I had learned about my institucion: who we are (Vision, Mission, Objectives), the academics programs that we offers and the course descriptions of each one, the Admissions process, the process to tranfers credits, students rights and responsabilities, students services,
The most important thing that I had discovered about my institucion it is that we are the best option for our students. If they want to get better opportunities in Unites States, we can help them to come through this dream and be successful in this country and in their own country.
