Expectations and Regulations

It is important that school representatives let the prospective student know if they will be eligible to enroll into a certain area of study before they make their final decision to enroll into a specifc school. If not, this would be misleading to the student.

Compliance

It is crucial that school representatives give accurate information. If they don't know the answer to a question they should let the PS know that they do not know and let them know they will either get back with them or refer them to someone who can accurately answer their question(s).

Misrepresentation regulations

After reading the Nature of the Education Program areas, I am reminded of these guidelines which I must be cognigsant of when speaking with potential students. This adherence will will help me in making sure I do not make any misrepresentations regarding our school.

Diploma Mills

It is very important for individuals to do their research so they are not a victium of a diploma mill. In same cases, companies will charge their customers a fee and provide them with a "diploma". These type of diplomas are not accepted.

Default

Students need to be educated about their student loans. Not only will this help the student in the future but also the school because if too many students have their loan in default, they could lose their financial aid rights.

Recruitment

When recruiting, the representatives need to be honest and upfront with the potentional students. If they do not know an answer to their questions, they should not guess.

Regulation

Post Secondary schools need to be sure to follow regulation. This will allow them to maybe qualify for finance aid and become accreditted.

Integrity

Schools should not be able to discuss any information about another institution when speaking for prospective students.

Default Rate

There should be an intense learning session for student on their student loans. Many student do not know about the option they have on their loans if they are not able to make payments or cannot afford their loan amount.

Interesting

Well this is certainly an interesting conversation to begin after reading through this first section of my renewal. Accreditation is so important for a school to have when it comes to having your students and prospective students have confidence in the school they will be attending. What I found to be noticeably imperative for an Admissions Representative to know is that it is okay to say that you do not know the answer to a question. Many prospective students have been shopping for a school for a while and have talked to many of us trying to find the right fit. What is interesting is that they expect us to know the answers sometimes very suddenly, others do not. And you have to be firm when you do not know the answer. Do not let a student pressure you into giving an answer they want to hear, rather than the realistic truthful answer.

Disclosure

I believe disclose any stats on the school and not only best for the student, but the school as well. It gives a clear picture on where the school is and helps the school know if any improvements need to be made.
