Financial Aid for students

I think it is a good idea for school to prepare all financial aide paperwork for students

Catalog Access

Prior to this training course, I didn't know how important it was that all students had access to the school catalog before enrollment.

Sports recruiting agent

While reading through the information about agents, I wondered how this applied to sports recruiting programs such as football.

Understanding Your Institution

It is very important that you understand your institution so that you know exactly what you are selling to prospective students.

State of Ohio Student Disclosure Form

In this section, it reads "Prior to completing an enrollment agreement, all potential students enrolled in an Ohio school must review and complete the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools' student disclosure form as required by the Board." Now, here's my question. How can a student review and complete the disclosure form before the enrollment agreement? The first item on the disclosure form is the enrollment agreement. Any thoughts?

The Admission Process and Paperwork

It is very important that you follow the admissions process so you stay within compliance. It is in your best interest of you and the prospective student to give the correct information so they are well informed of all of the right things.

Reporting Agent Violations

What if it were discovered that an agent from another school had been violating the policies outlined in this section? Would we have to report it to the school that agent works for? Or would we strictly report it to the Ohio Board? I wonder because if it were one of my co-workers the natural reaction would be to tell that person to stop, or to tell your boss about it. It would feel like a bias if I didn't try to treat both situations in the same manner. I guess I'm basically asking what is the operating procedure for reporting violations?

New Federal Rules as of July 1, 2011

As some of you may be aware, the U.S. Department of Education instituted several new rules that went into effect on July 1, 2011 that impact all schools that participate in federal financial aid programs. These new federal rules contain several new requirements regarding student disclosures and other policy chages that could affect the activities of admissions reps. Has your school instituted any new training initiatives to discuss these new federal rules?

Out of State Recruitment

I do believe it would be difficult to regulate every agent out there recruiting accross the United States for there school. There should be some form of national agency testing.
