I think it's great that we are required to do Admissions Training but do we need to do it every year because your links to current laws are updated frequently?

Staying compliant

It's important to stay up to date with the most recent compliance publications to save the employee and employer from consequences that can result in the loss of employment and/or extreme fines for the employer.

My institution follows these rules and regulations. As a new hire on day 1, I was given manuals that explained the importance of being compliant and understanding the institution.

Advertising and Marketing.

It is very important for an Admission representative to be aware of the marketing and advertising of an institution in order to be aware of what is available when speaking to prospective students.If not aware of the marketing plan, ask for the samples af the marketing effort so that prospective students will be well informed about various promotions offered by the institutions. There are various marketting strategies: Print Ads, Radio, TV, Dorect mails or Emails. Regardless of what strategies used, the information will be beneficial to prospective students.

Marketing

What is considered to be the most effective marketing strategy and why? Does it depend a lot on the location of the institution? Or is there a universal strategy that seems to get the best results for prospective students across the board?

enrollment paperwork

sometimes we don't go over the paperwork where important initials and signatures are required then we must have the student return to do it at orientation etc. I like to use a yellow highlighter and highlight all areas where initials and signatures are needed and it's easy to see if it's been done with the highlighters. The checklist is also helpfull before you exit your process with the student
