I realize that it's always up to the receiving school, but is it just randomly up to their discretion? Or it there a process/regulating body? For instance, if Math Class A from University B is a transferable credit for one student, is it a transferable credit for all students? Or is it a case-by-case basis?

Is 'other counseling' regulated? Specifically, if other counseling was to be offered, but through community professionals (like it mentions in the training); how would that be regulated, approved, etc.

I think this is a huge.. not issue, but more.. debate. In all of the training material, we're told that we should know all of the FA information, all the different kinds, rules, regulations, qualifications, etc. The training material said we should know that by the end of this training - however, we do not necessarily know that. Furthermore, it also mentions that it's up to the institutions discretion as far as what you can and cannot talk about, FA-wise. I understand this. I am not a FA representative, I represent Admissions - but then why are we being told we should know all this information? And then why aren't we being taught it? If we don't need to know, that is the reasoning for not being taught. But through this module, it said we should know all this information. But, that's not really the case, it seems - it seems that it's up to our institution if we should know this, AND if we should be able to share/discuss this. Sam

I understand that Agents are allowed to work outside of campus - they're allowed to attend events and work in the students' homes. However, about their specific licensure.. 1. They're also 1-year licenses (Representatives also have to re-license every year), correct? 2. What's the non-transferable part of things affect? Are Representatives licenses transferable? (I'm just not sure why it made sure to mention that an Agent's license was non-transferable). 3. Are Representatives not licensed by the Commission? 4. If Representatives ARE licensed by the Commission (as Agents are, as well), then how come only Agents' resignations/dismissals require the Commission's notification? Sam

I've worked for a school that had a high placement rate but learned that students who continue on for another degree OR even if they're not working in their field but they're nonetheless working somewhere, they're considered "placed". I'm not sure how other schools identify a "placement" but it seems some can skate around a true placement in their field.

It is important to stay up to date with rules and regulations to avoid any ethical violations that may result in severe negative consequences.

It is very important that the student has the parent signature if they are less than 18 and at the same time the parents can provide support and encouragement. I believe that this will help the student perform well and finish the degree program, in my experience parent involvement is extremely beneficial for young student success.
