Changing lives

I am glad that the role of admissions officers and staff is well defined and that we should not steer from the primary goal which is to provide information in the students benefit.

Getting the potential student to a yes!

Having all the correct information is a good way to get the potential students to yes. What do you do additional that helps them feel secure with the school?

transfer of credits

How does this apply to clock hours?

Andrew Bozymowski

Transfer of Credits

Do programs need to be 100% the same for credits to actually transfer over?

John Gwin

placement

Is it mandatory to advise on placement?

Andrew Bozymowski

Job Placement

As an Admissions Representative why is it our job to talk about Job Placement? Isn't that what Career Development is for, especially considering if a school doesn't even offer job placement in the first place?

How Can it Be your Fault?

The last question stated that if we are not informed of a change in the institution, as an Admissions Representative, that we are at fault if we incorrectly give a prospective student wrong information? That doesn't necessarily make sense, considering we deliver the information passed down to us.

John Gwin

Admissions Rep. liability.

Why is the admissions representative required to miraculously have the knowledge of whether he/she has the proper training or not?

Andrew Bozymowski

Agents vs Representatives

Why are Agents allowed to go to prospective students homes and Representatives are not?

John Gwin

Marketing discussion.

How is keeping current in marketing strategies relevant to the ethical training of admissions staff?

Excitement

I feel it is exciting to be communicating with a prospective student about and educational experience that could easily be exactly what they are looking for to make a positive change in their life. I get excited providing information on such transformational information. Even when I learn the individual is not really a match for my institution, it is exciting to know they are another step closer to finding an opportunity that is a match for them - and I did my part in helping them find it. Such interactions are always and exciting "Win-Win" experience.

Small School Growing Larger

As a new employee in an established small school now on an active growth path, I am wondering if there is an accepted progression of competency for the school's admissions process. We currently have a catalog and an official enrollment form, which seem like the minimum basic requirements. In what order should we add functions such as: job placement, graduate career tracking, financial aid coaching, and something else I don't yet know about?

Resource Notebook is a must-have!

I am in the process of putting together my resource notebook and I can't believe how much information I've retained just by assembling the notebook!

Great Marketing

I think the Golf Academy of America has great marketing tactics. At the condo building where I reside, I was stopped by the gentleman at the concierge desk and he told me he heard an add for the Golf Academy on Pandora! He and I talk about work and whatnot often. It was just neat and refreshing to see that we advertise in such relevant ways!

Katie Simms

Stay Informed

If there are any changes made by the institution or regulatory bodies that the admissions representative was not informed about, it IS the representative's responsibility or fault if he or she acts inappropriately. We, as part of a bigger organization, should stay informed when changes are being made!

Katie Simms

Negative Actions

I'm glad it states that any negative actions affect the whole instution. I am very conscious of my actions and I understand that I am part of a bigger organization so I will do my best to do the best job I can!

Johanna Aponte

Student Services

Student services is such an important part of the Admission process and helping of the students. SS is there to provide any kind of assistance when it comes to books, homework, advice, how to walk them through class if need be. They literally hold that students hands to make sure they meet expectations and most important that they know they have support.

Danielle Elias

Organizing

I keep my paperwork in a binder with tabs. I also keep a backup file on our computers.
