Our Representative's are very gentle with our students to make sure they're confortable when taking test and understanding the process to become a student. The term is common in the college admissions process when referring to high-school graduates who have been accepted by a college, but who have not yet committed to the school.
We have a set of standard disclosures that are given to each student during their enrollment process by the admissions team. These documents are supplied to us by our home office and updated as is required. Notification of updates signal our admissions coordinator to remove out of date disclosures and replace as needed.
They are in the enrollment packets that students sign.
They are on our website and in the catalog.
I make the prospective student aware of the disclosures during the interview.
We have several checks and balances in place to ensure proper disclosures are given to prospective students. Our website covers the bases as well as our catalog. We have packets pre-made with every disclosure that is required. Additionally, when the paperwork is turned in it is checked by two layers to ensure that the requirements are met.
Besides having verbal disclosures explained, there are also disclosures written on their forms and found in the school's catolog. This is also handled through various check points with the ac/admin director & assistant, finacial aide. We make sure they uderstand what is required of them and have them sign and make copies to keep on hand as verification they have agreed.
The admissions department provides all of the appropriate disclosures upfront in the entry.
I am in Admissions and have worked at more than one school. I noticed many of the answers rely on the Admissions staff to ensure that the information is dissemenated to the prospective students. While this works in most instances, I have noticed that it does not work in all instances. I think there must be a separate check and balance to ensure Compliance is maintained throughout the process. There will always be people who will "shortcut the process" to save time at the end of a day or a particularly stressful week. I worked for a fine boss one time and his philosophy was "Trust but Verify". I think this is still appropriate today.
We have catalogs that disclose all of the program requirements. Additionally, we have addendums to the published catalogs. We have individual papers that require a signature, which indicates they both know and understand a particular policy.
Admissions should clarify each disclosure not just hand it out. It is the most ethical things to say the least. Last thing we want a student signing documents without knowing.
we post on out website and catalog.
When a prospective student enrolls in the program all disclosures related to the program and the school are shown to them and they have to sign they where received, this will serve as proof they saw them.
I really appreciated the knowledge that was shared and walked away from it more educated on many topics.
How does this apply to my work load?
Our Admissions department understands the disclosures in detail and provide every new student with a copy of the disclosure they ( the student) signs.
We have a check list that admissions reviews when a student enrolls. The forms are double checked when a school offical signs the enrollment agreement.
We have a prescibed packet of disclosures in admissions that each prospective student signs of on at enrollment.
In regards to processes for ensuring active and prospective students receive the required disclosures, our admissions department handles the responsibility for distributing materials relating to enrollment, programs and the such. Students are required to sign verifying receipt and understanding of the materials.
We have the same practice. However, what I notice is students do not know exactly what they are signing. They are completely overwhelmed when entering a program. There should me more follow up. To decrease the number of assumptions.
All prospective students are given a school catalog and addendum at the time of their first visit. On request enrolled students are given and sign copies of any enrollment documents including disclosures.
Consumers disclosures are kept on the intranet and can be found in the campus catalog. When changes have been made an addendum is posted. Every effort is made to ensure the staff and students are well informed of the disclosures.
