This is a common questions and a common misunderstanding we get from almost every student that has taken previous classes in a different college and by any reason they do not finish...they end up wasting that time

Rules and Regulations

Is it ever possible for someone to always know all of the new rules and regualtions? I know you are supposed to check on them all the time, I just fell that with the speed they seem to change at, someone might hardly eer be 100% up to date. Any suggestions?

Veronica Diez

The importance of good treatment for the candidate

The most important part of the admissionÂ´s process is the way we treat to the candidates. IÂ´ve got a lot of cases in which a new student has been recommended by an old student. The fair customer practices are essential to attract new students in the future.

Admissions Requirements

In the cases of a small private Institution where the enrollment rate is not as high as public Institutions, rather than turn students away for not meeting the admission requirement of having a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent, would you recommend a small private Institution to establish as a basic adult education program or refer students to a another school where they will be able to take a course to obtain their high school diploma, GED, or equivalent. Are there any other alternatives?

Victor Ros

Catalog

When, within the academic offer, are there programs in another language that is not English, you need to have in the website's Catalog the other languages of the Programs?.

Tiffany Jackson

Admissions Paperwork and Processes

I think that is very important as an Admissions Representative that we relay the right information to our students. It is imperative that we make sure that all processes to enroll a student are accurate and have been done before a student leaves our office. Checking to make sure that we have all paperwork done correctly helps us with compliance as well and we don't have to spend time trying to fix what should have been done in the beginning.
