My overall thought

This course gave me a lot of helpful knowledge, information that I definitely can use and apply to my position. A lot of helpful resources, including the notebook, and a lot of links that are very resourceful. Gaining more knowledge in this career, is important, we really have to stay on informed with all the regulations, and changes as they happen so often and so many that we may not even be aware of. It is very important to understand and know all of these regulations, guidelines and rules that are provided as an admissions representative.

What I Have Learned!

I have to admit this was a pleasure!  I knew a lot of the information, clarified some things was not sure about and provided some much needed confidence for myself to be comfortable in knowing that I do make the right decisions in life.  Really is common since, respect for yourself and others, have integrity, enjoy in knowing you are helping someone move forward with their education while encouraging success.  We can't assist everyone that we meet as there may be other places that may be a better fit for them in the way they choice to earn their training,… >>>

Feedback on what I learned

I confess that I came into the training with a "Why do I need to do this?" attitude, but am sincerely coming away with knowledge that I didn't have before.  I have been compliant to many rules and regs in my career, but I never really knew why these rules were there and what the ramification would be for noncompliance.

I'm glad that I took this course...It's one thing to be compliant, and quite another to understand why.

Helpful Info

I think we get adequate training on my University; however, there were still things I picked up from this online forum that made me glad I went through the training.

Was the course good? Did it do its job?

Yes and Yes. The course was very professional and to the point. It explained what is expected of an agent, what the rules and regulations are and how they apply to what we do. For me... the course just re-enforced what I had been trained by the Admissions Director at my school. There were no big surprises, because if it wasn't already common sense, I had been previously trained in respect to it. I say that, but I also believe it is a course that is definitely needed for all admissions agents and reps, myself included. It's good to know that we… >>>

Great Overview

This course provided us with knowledge and resources on the daily operations, accrediting regulations, financial aid, admissions policy and procedure and more! I think this was a complete overview of how a post-secondary institution operates and the required compliance regulations. The presentation was resourceful and straight forward.

Gainful Employment

Assisting our students with appropriate programs and goals leads them towards achieving the results the learner as well as the university and community seek. I believe as administrators we have a moral obligation to enroll and educate our students in careers and degree programs which will afford them the ability to find a position which is both professionally and personally rewarding.
