It is important to know about your school. To help prospective students and current students you must know what your school offers, or where you can lead them to find the information they need. Also knowing your faculty and staff so you can be up to date with new information that changes throughout the time of being an agent. As an agent it is important to properly explain the necessitites of what a propsective student or current student may need for a specific type of course/program.

Reading in this area brings to mind that Nursing is not really involved with meeting with the prospective students.  Instead we have admission people, maybe nursing should be more involved with this process.

Does anyone have a recent example of someone breaking the regulation and what punishment was conveyed to them?

Student's look to us to be their resources, they come to us for guidance as they embark upon their journey of renewed career development.  Let us be the lighthouse that sees them off with assurance, then let us be their ever faithful beacon as we guide them to the shores of future success.     

If we wish to barter in knowledge, then we as agents must be knowledgable ourselves.  

Transferring credits is an important subject that admissions support representatives should be able to handle because that can weigh a lot on the prospective student in regards to enrolling.

Tuition is so important in the minds of students. It is important they understand that they need to know how much it is going to cost them. But it is our job to let them know that yes it sounds like a lot of money but there are ways to help as long as you qualify.

What you say to students is very imperative. It can change their mind, plant the seed in their head about looking to enroll, or totally make them completely uninterested. So it is important to know how to convince the lead in a manner that they approve of.

I really appreciate that this course shows all of the laws and regulations related to being an admissions rep. The laws are not that complicated and seem rather straightforward and simple.

It's good to know that laws have been put in place to protect the integrity of both prospective students, as well as the institutions they are considering.

Hello,

I enjoyed this informative class and wnat to be sure I am clear on the dnc guidelines...we can contact a person up to three months after they submit an inquiry, correct?  So do old leads in Campus View auto9matically go away or, if not, are we positioning ourselves for potential fines?

Thanks so much!

I think it is of great necessity that Admissions Representatives in the State of Ohio are require to renew their Agents permits every year.

Over the years I have found knowing something about the culture and customs of students from foreign ciountrys to be invaluable in relationship building. It makes them less nervous, makes them feel welcome and it makes them feel like they are important to you and the Institution you represent because you took out time to learn about their homeland. As a rule I stay away from controversial subjects. I don't discuss religeon or politics and I have found this approach to be an invaulable tool as it pertains to conecting with them and trust building.

As an admissions rep, if you know a student is in defualt do you have them come in to visit the school and speak with financial aid?

Hello all!

I currently work in an admissions support department which works alongside admission representatives to assist prospective and current students.

Admission representatives, my question is how can admission support better assist you in working with prospective students and do you have any recommendations on better practices/processes to help you better? 

What are some good best practices that have been found in creating your working resource binder? 

How far have you gone with keeping up with new information/updates? (set schedule of checking site?, are there automatic notifications?) 

How close are you with co-workers in other departments? 

For those of you who have been in the industry for awhile, what is the best advise you can give to someone just starting out in admissions? 

If you are directed to mislead a prospective student by your supervisor should you report the supervisor? Your thoughts?

I completed the online training and passed the final exam. 

What's my next step in getting everything finalized with the Ohio Board? 

I do know that the resource book is such a great tool to have at your fingertips.  I also liked the ideas of having the organizational chart.

Whatever your role is in your school. It is important and should be shared by everyone.

Another great thing to have on a regular basis is weekly or bi weekly meeitings. IT keeps everyone in the loop, and you learn - good and bad from each other
