Student Loans

Why is it that so many prospective students take issue to student loans? Also, what are some good ways to overcome those objections during the Admissions process?

Binders

How many times does your schools admissions deptartment check to see reps have their binders up to date?

Transfer credit

Always best to let the student call the school and find out.

Paperwork

It's so important that the student reads every detail.

Transfer of Credits

One thing that I initially found odd in this position at this institution was the rules about transferring credits. Though I thought it would be detrimental to the recruitment and admissions process to be so stingent in the transferability process, I now understand why it is important. I believe that it shows that this institution, as a career college, really values the courses it offers, the instructors, and the overall learning process. Knowing that from start to finish the academic future of the student is compiled in the best format, for their best success, really means a lot for the credit of the school.

Admission rules

I was not aware that admissions rules does not vary from school to school varying on school size. It's good to see that all schools are held to the same standard.

Intriguing

I didn't know there were so many rules and regulations when dealing with students enrolling into college.With all the negative practices it makes sense that they are implemented. Glad to see there are rules in place so that the students aren't misguided.

Follow-Up

What have you learned is the most effective way of following up with prospective students that have said things like "I'm busy right now" or "I can't talk" and they hang up before you get a chance to offer a better time.

How effective are Social Networking Sites?

I'm curious if students have the ability to chat with a live person from one of our schools directly from Facebook or comparable sites? Or is there just a link to the general website?
