The Admissions Process
The admissions process is the most important process of any institution, and thus it is required that admissions reps adhere to the policies set forth in the strictest manner.
This is all true. If a student is fully aware of all the steps of the admissions process, he or she can make the best decision for himself or herself in regards to continuing or not with enrollment. A college's goal should be to do what's best for each student, and not simply to make a profit. If a school is transparent about its admissions process, it can be sure it's in line with this goal.
I too agree. It could be tempting to deviate but, in the end you are hurting not only yourself but, the school and the potential student. It is best to also ask someone with more experience if you are unsure of answer instead of trying to come up with something on your own. With all the training provided, all Reps should know it is in their best interest to stay inline with policies and procedures!
Admissions must know the Enrollment process and be impeccable with their word.
Our school has a Power Point presentation as well. I feel it helps the Admissions Rep to stay on track as well as to not forget important information. It also adds a more visual piece for the prospective student.
Absolutely. Admissions reps are the face of the school and have to always act with integrity and ethics whatever situation may arise.
In my opinion, it is extremely important that the admissions process runs smoothly because it is the initial experience a person will have with the school.
In admissions here at our school we have a power point that we use in every first interview. It creates enthusiasm in the student while walking through the enrollment process.
A thorough admissions process is critical to the success of the student, as well as the institution.
I agree. We must be very thorough so the student has all the information they need to make an informed decision.
I appreciate students being able to make an informed decision regarding their education. I feel that the Admissions Process we follow allows students to discover more about themselves while also understanding whether or not our school meets their goals, needs and values.
I agree. The student has so much information they need to process, it is best not to overwhelm them. If you take it step by step, it will be much easier on both the student and the admission rep!

I agree. I inform the student first thing that i will be making a copy of all the paperwork so they can get it home and really read through it and hand them my card. Then we take the time to go over each page so they fill comfortable about what they are signing and know they can call me with any questions at any time.
I also agree that the admissions process is vital to ensuring that the prospective student is informed of all rules, policies, and procedures before they enter the school.
Absolutely, professionalism and compliance only ensures confidence in each admission representative’s ability to be an agent even if a particular student isn't a good fit for his/her school. The agent’s attitude enhances the prospective student’s school search experience and ultimately their career goals.
I agree. Admission process is very important.. We are the first point of contact for the college, we have to uphold the standards of the college and the OACCS
I agree. My school has a power point that I use in every interview. It's easy for the student to follow along and I don't leave anything out as well.
I agree, I feel that students and/or parent are MUCH happier and feel MUCH better about our school if they can match what we say with the information in the catalog. Thus leading to less cancelations, and happy students with great feedback!
I agree. We have specific steps in this process so that the student is aware of all policies, procedures, and program requirements.
