My institute is currently defined in clock hours. How do I define my clock hours into credit hours?

My institute is located in the city of Hialeah. Where the majority of the population are hispanic. Is it necessary to translate the enrollement agreement and catalog from English to Spanish?

This is probably one of if not the most important area that we have to know and be well versed on.

Patty, Our school keeps both paper and electronic copies of student records. With identity theft being a huge concern, we have had a few students refuse to give us their addresses and their social security numbers! The Colorado DPOS (our home state approval agency) requires that we have this information on file. I am curious how other schools handle keeping this info secure. We only have 2 people in our office who see this info and it is not stored on any laptop that goes out of our office. Student records (paper copies) are in one staff persons office and they lock their door whenever they leave the office. Should we be doing something else?

The resource notebook is a great tool for keeping everything together in one place. We also utilize a "Team Website" where updated information gets posted and all can benefit from it.

When a student asks about the transfer of our credits to other institutions, we advise them of check the other institutions, we advise them that to check with that institution because transfer credit policies vary from institution to institution.

It is important to help graduates with their resumes, letters, etc for interviews. A lot of candidates have a degree or a diploma but lack a good personal presentation. The placement departments need to assist in this area as well. Some institutions assist in career placement where there are institutions that do not. It does not make institutions that do not provided career placement any less valuable to the student. Many students currently have employment or careers and are looking to enhance their education for advancement purposes only.

I think it would be beneficial to the students to advice on every step of the enrollment. They should be informed and explained every paper that they are reading and signing. I also agree that the enrollment agreement along with the catalog constitutes the contract between the student and the school.

I am thinking that every person required to take this course should have one. None the less it should be standardized for the entire school. For example, a director is required to take this training but if there is a question regarding admissions, it would be better if they had their own copy rather than have to take it to Admissions. This would ensure that the information is correct.

Is it required to make duplicate copies of student files in case of loss or damage to the originals?

I am taking over admissions for someone that has left. Can I Reuse their Resource booK and add my own new information to it?

I just finished printing all the material provided in the course and I am about to finish completing my reference notebook that I am going to continously review so that I know it from front to back. This course has been wonderful and of great help as an admission officer.

I have found new information that helps me understand better my Institution and the students that we admit. Thru this module I have learned that it is very important to always stay on top of new developments

After completing this module I feel more confident talking with the students and sharing information with my co-workers in the admission department.

I am gathering all the information that has been provided so far in this course and building my own notebook that will be a very good reference in case of any doubts

What all should go in the Resource Notebook?

The very nature of our business is to bring technology to the work place. One of the ways we do this is to educate students on how to move away from paper and store documents in databases. Is is possible and realistic to have the forms maintained in a database instead of maintaining filing cabinets full of papers?

As I go through this program, I am learning the different items which should be included in the resource notebook. So far, I've discovered the Section 6E rules should be included in addition to the Organizational Chart. Should items such as the catalog and enrollment agreement also be included in the resource notebook?

per the discussion that I just finished it helped me to further understand the importance of knowing the rules and documents that has to be signed very informative every one needs to know.

I can see where these guidelines for admissions are really needed. being a student first it has encouraged me that such help is available for reps.
