I'm not officially part of our "admissions team", but have telephone, and occasional face-to-face communications with prospective students. Are there any specific topics that should be avoided during discussions with these students?

Statutes and paperwork

I think that having legislation that focuses on fair practices is best. I think it provides a framework for institutions to operate ethically. It also deters from any ambiguity. My interpretation lends to an idea that is focused primarily on transparency between admissions and prospective students.

Admissions Support Staff

I work in the administrative office of our institution. In the past we did not have direct dealings with prospective students in great detail. Our modus operandi was to defer to the admissions department. As things have changed we find our roles expanding to assist admissions with these prospects. I find that training programs such as this allow me to feel that I'm adequately informed. Having a list of the terms is also most helpful, it eliminates any sort of lingering confusion with regard to the processes and laws governing our department as well as admissions itself. Is (are) there any other trainee(s) in a similar position?

Resource Notebook

I am very new to this line of work and find that the resouce notebook is extremely useful. In my resource notebook I have the Enrollment Agreement, my terms, my institutions most recent catalog, my institutions information about accreditation and frequently asked questions and answers about my institutions program(s). I have the Florida Statues, Rules and Title IV information in a separate notebook. I can already tell that this will be my most widely used tool at work.

Admissions Representative

It's very important that the Admissions Representative accurately reflects the institution as his/her actions can negatively impact the institution.

Resource Book

Outstanding Idea & it will become a useful tool at this institution...

Receptionist involment in certification

Hello everyone, I understand that anyone who has contact with a prospective student needs to be certified in this admissions course. What if their only job is to be a receptionist but because of their accessibility to the waiting area they interact with prospective students. While the prospective student waits to meet with directors or admissions staff they ask the receptionist basic brochure questions. Does the receptionist need to take this certification? Liu Necuze
