I found the training excerises to be very informative and helpful in acclimating myself to the rules, regulations, compliances, disclosures, ect.  It was very eye opening, especially the do's and dont's of what you can and cannot say.  I appreciated learning the different perspectives on issues as well.

With this course, I have learned and re-learned the do's and the do not's of the institution and the classroom.

This course is full of valuable information.  I am a new Admissions Representative and every bit of this information is relevant to my position.  I've learned a lot from this course.  I worked for another proprietary college as a Student Services Coordinator and always wondered why I could not refer to myself as a counselor.  You learn something new everyday :)

I thought the information persented was very informational and is relevant to the work we perform on a daily basis.  This course has made me more conscious in regards to handling student information, information I am providing to potential students and how I will perform my job in general. 

This couse truly highlighted the expectations and responsibilities of the admissions process especially in relation to compliance issues.  As a new hire, I'm exctited about highlighting opportunities for prospective students with their best interest and the expectations of the school as the premise of engagement.  The modules exposed our responsibilities as duties to maintain intergity with prospective students.

Very informatative training, refresher for me as I have been in admissions for 6 years now.  Glad to have refresher every year on new ruiles and regulationations though.

For me the most useful part of this coursework was knowing the right questions to ask. I have heard things mentioned through out the office, like the Enrollment Agreement, Life Experience Credit, etc, but I never knew what it was that I needed to know about these things. This course helped me to understand what it is I need to know (or ask!) about each of the necessities.

All of this help me to add more knowledge to what I thought I already knew. a lot of information and very helpful.

After going through the modules I found that there were quite a few things that I didn't know. I was informed on quite a few areas of topic and enlightened as well.

The quizzes helped quite a bit but the Final quiz itself was a little tricky but overall I PASSED and that is what is important.

Happy testing to everyone else.

I found this quiz to be a little difficult and hard to concentrate in an office with people walking in and out frequently.  Unfortanately i guess i didnt study enough and failed the final quiz. Does anybody know what happenes after failing the final quiz?

I am interested in any feedback from participants who have taken the Texas School Director Course (CM301).  To those of you who have taken the course - there is a great amount of information packed into a (relatively) short course.  I advise to bookmark the TWC CSC regulations on your computer and frequently refer/review to them to improve your working knowledge.

As an Instructor, and a Program Director, i have learned and been able to apply the knowledge in my every work day, understanding more about the financial and admissions aspects and what they do.

For an ST Instructor such as myself, it had very little to do with my everyday job. A person with a good foundation in common sense and a good sense of right and wrong can probably have a sucessful career in there teaching profession without ever needing the legal and finacial background or "behind the sense" beuracracy of the USDOE. It would be nice to tailor continuing education requirements to prospected career areas of the individual. Such as, education on how to educate in the ST career for myself.

Did anyone else find the final quiz in CM251 to be VERY CONFUSING?

I have only been an Admissions Advisor for 6 months and have been very fortunate to be employed at a great school. I am always hearing about other schools that have very shady practices and are quite deceitful to their prospective students! I wish I knew a way to bring to light some of these other schools! I think schools that are too focused on enrollments and not the students are a major reason the rising school loan deficeit has been hurting this country! These schools might as well be terrorists because they are just as damaging to our economy… >>>

I have been working for education for 10 years now in various roles. Working together with different departments, we can all achieve the main goal. Students come first and it is important to remember this if someone is having a bad day. I enjoy helping students reach their academic goals.

As the Program Director of a program at my school, I have found it absolutely necessary to work hand-in-hand with the Admissions Team!  I have seen the effects of this displayed in a positive manner that has yielded that highest reward possible....the STUDENT!!  When each department collaborates together, the student will experience positive experience that will allow for their learning experience to blossom and grow and be successful at the program that they are entering.  We need to all remember that each department creates one large TEAM!!  Collaboration is the key!

I have been working in Admissions for over three years now from state to state it is good to see that each state I have been in takes compliance so seriously as I believe it to be important not only to protect the student but also the Admissions Representative

I am so excited to begin my career as an admissions agent! I love that the focus isn't really on selling, but on keeping people informed and assisting them with making educated decisions about their future. It is wonderful that all agents participate in this training to ensure that everything is fair and standardized.

After teaching for 10 years and being the Director of a school for 3, I find myself LOVING being a part of Admissions. The satisfaction of helping someone accomplish a dream, a goal or simply find a better job through proper education and training is what I enjoy doing on a daily basis. Do I get frustrted on certain days, OF COURSE! But that is part of the "rush!"
