Resource Notebook Organization

Does anyone have a good idea of how to divide the resouce notebook for easy access to information? I know this may vary by institution but I wonder how the information can be sorted or divided in order to find it quickly.

Kevin Marley

Student Loans

Is anyone using outside source's for financial assistance? Such as finance companies.

Kevin Marley

Your Institution

It is very important to know what your other departments are offering not only to help your student's but to keep open line's of communication with each other.

Regulations

How did schools operate before the regulators came around, and did the regulators actually add any value to the quality of the education recieved. I doubt it given the current intellectual state of the nation.

Regulations

All the regulations in the world will not educate 1 student.

Other Types of Admissions Training

If a school decides to build its own admissions training program, how does it approach getting this approved to comply with CIH mandates?

Marketing

Agents are not salespeople. Rather we are there to offer accurate information to represent our school in the best and most truthful manner. Honesty is key.

Shouldn't admission rep. be efficiently trained in FA Policies?

While admissions representatives should be in the know of what is going on with the organization, you walk a fine line with knowing too much. It is best to kept financial aid information to a minimum in order to avoid situations that could be misconstrued.

Melanie Kopko

Training

What are some ways to make training different and fun? We do continuous training but what can we do to keep it interesting and fun?

Tamara Dominguez

How can you define a "Potential Lead" from a "Shop Around Lead"?

Building up a conversation with your Potential Student is very important, it may raise up with questions like; How did you heard from us?, Are you from town? What is intresting for you about this field? since when you were planning to learn about this career and waht it offers? and many others. Suggestion: answer the same questions, this will create a dialog that will link you to opinions that helps with interaction and individual understanding, this will help you to turn a lead into a prospective student with the right fit.

CJ Giles

How does your school stay current?

I'm surious as to what your school is doing to keep you up on what is happening with trends, the industry and marketing? Do you hold weekly/monthly meetings?

CJ Giles

Your Schools Marketing Approach

I was curious as to how well each of you know what is going on with regards to marketing for your school? Do you have campus meeting to go over it? We have reports and meet monthly to go over what we are doing and how er go about advertising.

David Rucker

Sounding robotic

If you use the same words and phrases with every prospective student, it takes away from your relationship. You have to relate with each one and every student is different.

David Rucker

Financial aid and admissions should never overlap

There too many guidelines and regulations in the FA process to expect Admissions reps to learn along with admissions guideline in my opinion.

David Rucker

Learning everyday

I have been in admissions for a little over a year now and I realize that no matter how long you've been doing this, you will continue to learn something new everyday. This training has open my eyes to the organization side of a admissions rep.

David Rucker

Staying up to date with new regulations

I feel they should have more of these trainings to inform admissions reps of the changes in the industry, especially when they change so often

Tesfa Miller

Knowing my profession

These courses and forums has been great in allowing he to understand and be inform of my profession and all the rules and guideline involve in doing my job. Moving forward I will stay inform.

Tesfa Miller

Marketing by Admission Representations

Since most institution have deferent forms of marketing plans. can an admission representative have a personal marketing plan that they can generate personal leads.

Tesfa Miller

why is it so important to use words and terms predetermine by fla rule

Shouldnâ€™t any company or institution have the ability to market their business the best way they seem fix, with out a third party putting them in a box. Just has long has that company or institution is being professional ethical with their marketing. My reasoning is that the main purpose of any marking strategy is to attraction as mush people to your business has possible, to give you a competitive advantage. With regulatory bodies, preset rule and statues putting you in a box, marketing wont be able to be creative, deferent.
