Compliance is everything
Maintaining compliance is the key to your success. Compliance goes hand in hand with ethics, and just doing things right.
Indeed. I am surprised that quality assurance was covered under the regulations. I would have thought that this would have been a requirement, or did I miss something?
Unfortunately, prospective students often mention in the initial interview derogatory statements made to them about us when they visited another career school in the area. I certainly hope those schools are being put through the same training and standards that is being so thoroughly emmphasized at our school.
Not only for the student at the time of enrollment but down the road as well. They may decide not to finish their education which affects the school retention rate and reputation!
This is very true! Remaining compliant creates credibility and honesty within the institution that you work for. Without these two elements student's would turn away from an unreliable school and would not feel comfortable relying on us to supply their education.
Exactly! Staying in compliance is a key to being successful.
I concure, David! Unless an admissions representative aims to appear on Dateline for lying to prospective students, get fired and jeopardise their schools existance then it is important to follow compliance. Compliance is not just in place to protect the rights of the student but also to legally protect the school along with its employees. If the school and its employees are actively being compliant then the student will be able to make the best educated decision on whether or not the school fits their needs, enroll if it does and refer other people due to their positive experience. Compliance, ethics and customer service go hand in hand.
I agree with you, compliance is key to the integrity of all parties and ensures an objective view of the admissions process
With some of our institutions being under close scrutiny right now and new legislation being looked at for proprietary education, it is especially important for us to be dotting our I's and crossing our T's!
I agree. Performing your job as an agent depends on maintaining integrity and compliance. Also, you offer a quality service to the student.
Compliance is a huge deal that must be met. Our jobs depend on it as well as our students. It goes hand in hand with integrity and making sure that our students receive quality.
I agree. Everything we do at our school MUST stay within the window of compliance.
I agree that compliance is very important. I think being honest is also very important. I think if you don't know an answer someone asks you, then you should find someone who does, don't just mislead a student by giving any answer.
Indeed. Compliance is a big issue and we must maintain a sense of integrity never wanting to mislead or misinform a student.
Compliance is definetly a hand in hand approach with ethics. The real challenge is how to maintain compliancy and improve upon it.
Definitely agree. Compliance is the key to OUR success, especially since our industry is under a lot of scrutiny. Even though we all know we do the right thing and have numerous success stories across our student bodies, we need to apply more focus amongst all staff to ensure ethical standards are even more elevated!
Compliance is a key put in place to keep problems from arising. By following the procedures that are set forth for the institution, it ensures smooth day to day activities and overall productivity for the institution. Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
In addition to having a sheet for the students to read, we have as part of our enrollment agreement documents some compliance issues. It's important to be clear about what students can and cannot expect from their school.
Not maintaining in compliance can be the end of your career. The difference we make is huge so staying in compliance is crucial.
giving the student bad information can only lead to two things.. bad for the agent.. and worse the student..
