Placement Exam

Our institution does not require an admissions test to all students, but does require that students take a Mathematics Placement Exam to ensure that they are on the correct level and do not need remedial math to bring them up to par. Would this be considered an admissions exam which must completed as part of the admissions process?

After graduation and a career

Once a student graduates it is his/her responsibility to actively seek a career. Do you think some students believe it is solely up to the career services department to help with resumes and job placement? If so, does this reflect badly on the institution if a job is not found?

Should we check with our campus president's to see if one is already in existence for the campus or should we create one solely for ourself and our department?

Policies

It is very important to be familiar with the policies of you campus and not that of a competitor school. As students compare schools they can sometimes get confused and we want to be certain to share the correct information about our school.

Advertising

Since different people can see different ads and interpret them differently it is very important to view each ad to know what is being seeing and understand it.

Enrollment Agreement

Since changes come out often, it is always important to fully read all updated agreements. Although, they may look the same the wording can change slightly each time.

Resource Notebook

The resource notebook is a great item to have we use it all the time. It helps to not only keep everyone in the loop on upcoming events, policies and planning but it makes it easy to find and access in a moments notice.

We are also trained at our work place tobe sure we are stating everything correctly, but to know why now is so interesting .

Meetings

Meetings and phone conferences give me a full understanding, of any changes or issues that may be arising. Just reading email blast doesn't always give the best understanding. But during conference calls and meetings, things are discussed in great detail, that bring the email full circle. Also hearing someone else's way of dealing with an issue or concern, helps quite a bit. The meetings and conference calls also help me stay up-to-date with what's happening, and they offer a lot of support.
