ITT-Tech

I am pleased with the training program the institution implemented. Their is an interactive process in which signatures are required of the staff members. To secure the signature you have to ask questions about their departmart and job responsibilities. It was easier for me to transition into the DOR position, because I worked as an adjunct instructor.

S3

I am working with the team of representatives and experience outages on our S3 system. Some our our new reps are not sure how to handle. I have asked the marketing secretary to put hard copies of the forms in each room as a back up. I then have to remind the reps to put the information in the system later.

licensed but not accredited

how does one attract students when their college is licensed but not yet accredited?

Enrollment Packet and Enrollment Agreement

It is very important to complete all paperwork including the enrollment agreement in order to be in compliance. We must make sure that all signatures are in place as well as the student information to avoid having to chase after students, which makes the institution look disorganized.

Catalog Knowledge

It is important to know and understand most of, if not all the aspects of the school catalog. In there we can find the answers to many of our prospective students questions and concerns regarding school. It explains the different programs, courses, requirements, student information, calendar and tuition to name a few. By knowing our catalog, we know our school and that makes the institution look professional and the staff demonstrates the level of education offered at the campus.

Admission Test

We have done away with the Wonderlick test for students. The only students required to take the test are Veterans or students in which English is their second langauage. Students are reappl;ying that did not intially pass the wonderlick test and are being accepted. Does a GED or HS DSiploma serve as the tool that says the student is capable of progressing through school

Should Academic Assistance be provided to students?

If academic assistance is provided it should available to all who wants to get it. Also it should be within the conformity of the law, moral and ethical.

Differences between Financial aid and other type of assistance

The prospective students should be well informed about the differences between financial aid and other financial assistance provided by the institution to help them with tuition base on their availability and qualification.

What is the most effective marketing

curious the most effective way to cross market with multiple business's?

integrity

as much as it is the agents, and recruiters job to recruit students- it is just as important for all employers to remain 100% honest as to what their program has to offer and not to mislead any prospective students.

Mutual governing body?

Is there a mutual governing body for the Florida Statutes and Rules, policies and procedures manuals, and promotional materials? I wasn't sure if each was their own entity and if each was governed by a similar system.

Financial Aid

I realize the importance of knowing your resource notebook and being well-versed on any/all internal financial aid assistance for a prospective student. What about 3rd party assistance? Is there any programs in the state of Florida that applicants can apply at and admissions reps should be knowledgeable in?

Information Update

I will update the information of my resource notebook every week or when I need it. I´ve got a question. If an student ask me about some information not including on the catalog or in the enrollment contract...Must I give him that information? I know that admission´s staff must give an accurate information but in sometimes the students or prospective students ask about things aren´t related with the institution.

Advertising for Nursing Schools

Any suggestions on how to bring in prospects aside from advertising in ad, bill boards, etc??

Website

Does the school catalog need to be included on the website of the institution?

Resource Notebooks

Besides Admission representatives, who else should have a Resource Notebook in their possession?
