Hi all I wanted to know how most of you set up your resouce notebook. Is there a certain order to follow.

We find many student's feeling taken advantage of from his/her high school diploma's or GED from online achievement:(

I believe creating a fan page of our particular school would help a great deal. Everybody is connected to a social network website some way and its also free marketing!

make sure you are in compliance with dissuing this with students and refer them to student services for more detailed information.

What type of student services does your campus provide? I was at a ground campus and recently transferred to online. Our ground campus gave out information on food stamps, shelters, daycare, bus routes, etc. Do other campuses do this to let the student know their school can become their second family and a support for them?

What are some out of the box marketing strategies your campus has used? Setting up a table outside a store that some potential students might shop at? Placing flyers on cars? Booths at career fairs? Etc.

What is the difference between "accredited" and "fully accredited". I hear ads on the radio all the time for "fully accredited" institutions but I know that is something we are not suppose to say. Any insight?

when I started in this industry in 1980, it was commonplace for Admissions Reps to use the "takeaway" approach. it was like offering a baby a lollipop and when the baby reaches for it, pulling it back. Phrases like "if I decide to submit your application" or "if you are lucky enough to get accepted" were commonplace. People aren't stupid. They realize that they have choices. the last thing that you want to sound like is a salesperson. Avoid these timeworn cliches and come accross in a sincere manner and not only will you and your school be successful, but you'll be recruiting a better calibre student.

Often times a student does not know if they are on the DNC list and gives incorrect information. Whose fault would that be?

Why are schools responsible to give pre-loan counseling meetings before and after a student accepts a student loan?

The school I work for uses a lot of telemarketing and cold calls. Although we reach a lot of students, do you think it is really beneficial?
