Admissions and paperwork

I didn't find anything in regards with the following: what if a prospective student wants to get enrolled in more than one class at a time. Can he? Then what is required: two contracts? How about financial aid?

An independent admission agent vs Director of Admissions

I'd like to offer the following discussion topic: what is more advantageous for an Institution - to use the service of an outside agency or have an internal Director of Admissions.

Things may change

Things may change and everyday things do. So it always important to stay up to date and current and this will help admissions to better help students

Marsha-Ann Burrell

Helping students

I agree with everything covered in knowing your institution. If admissions is not aware of what of their institution, how can they then help students to see if their school is a right fit

Marsha-Ann Burrell

Helping students

Being fair and honest is something that we should always strive for. Students should know what they are getting into and we should be honest by sharing this with them

Marsha-Ann Burrell

Helping students

The role of admission should be to help student achieve their career goals through education and this should be emphasized across all school. Education is important and finding the right school and right program is a part of that process all so

We do a combination of print, tv and radio. All work well, and the biggest results have come when the coincide with one another.

Life experience credit

Life experience credit is only applicable for us with post-professional students. Generally, for entry level graduate students there is no exceptions for the courses we require as pre-requisites. We are also very strict with our transfer credits, both incoming and outgoing (we are more limited due to our national acreditation) so it is important that this information is in the information we provide our students with.

Kelley Hart

Marketing

Although there are many different media outlets, working within your budget and maximizing the number of potential students you can reach is important. The larger the budget, obviously the more you can do. Utilizing free resources, such as email blasts can help make your efforts stretch further.

Learning about your school from the Catalog

From reading our catalog I learned many facts that I did not know previously. Building specifics may not seem important, but different rules concerning refunds definitely was something I find useful! Since I am not in the department that deals with enrollment agreements, I do not always work with those numbers on a regular basis, but I know it is still important I know them.
