Do you know your school policy regarding transferability of credits?

My school has specific policy regarding the transferability of credits earned at the school. The agent is required to inform the student how the process of transferring credits to another schools works prior to applying the school. As a new agent I appreciate this because my students will have this information prior to making commitment to the school to make their decision.

Accreditation and Employment

Do some companies really deem you unqualified if you have graduated from an unaccredited school?

Financial Aid

When speaking to a potential student being very clear about cost and any refund policy (if any) is still a very important task to make it clear before they decide to commit.

Recruitment

I think that it is important to know the students that actively looking to obtain a higher education. Some students are not looking to go back to school or some reps are encouraging them to just enroll in a program that is not going to benefit them in the future.

Compliance

This section defintely refreshed me about the compliance issues that may arise while talking to a prospective student. The integrity of conveying the factual information for students will help them make the future decisions accurately.

Unscrupulous

It is a shame that alot of unscrupulous schools take advantage of unknowing people seeking to better themselves. It acutally digs them deeper in trouble

Abuse of Financial Aid

Financial Aid is to be used for attending school and not for living costs. The student debt load in the United States is in the Trillions of dollars due to abuses in the system. The money should always be used responsibly.

Unsavory Practices

I have seen everything in 12 years in the Education Business. I will never compromise my integrity to get someone to enroll in my school. This is a life altering moment for the student and for them to make a wrong decsion based on something I said is something I can not live with. Treat them as if they are your own family.
