organization

I'm hoping that keeping a 3 ring binder will help me stay organized with all of the information I received. Are there any other tools/resources that I can include in my binder that I did not receive today?

Enrollment Agreement

As an Admissions rep its important to explain and disclose all info pertaining to the agreement to the perspective student.

Laura Ryan

integrity

I find this to be one of the most important topic especially in the type of enviorment we work in

Christopher Arvay

Accreditation

Remember, accreditation is a separate process from state licensure or federal institutional authorization. To participate in financial aid you have to have accreditation

Jason Colosi

Default loan

this Info is very helpful. How would i find out if a student is in a default loan if student does not know..

Karen Varner

Competition

I always believe it is the best practice to focus on your school's strengths rather than another school's weakness.

Training is Key to becoming Succesful in this area

Hello All, I am new to this field but the great thing about any area is the training you recieve. Yes I know this is one of the longer ones but the information is used to allow us all to be successful and keep us safe in our area of expertise. So with that being said How many of you see this information as valuable and easily applicable to their field ?

I am a new Representative

I am a new Representative. I have started a Reference Guide of this information, but I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to how to keep this organized since there is so much information.

Initiating Contact

I understand the statement that "Agents are not permitted to initiate contact with students who are enrolled at other schools to attempt to have them enroll in the school where I work". My question is, what if I am out/off the clock and I am talking to an individual who may not be happy with their current school, would I be able to talk with them about it at that time? Thanks! Donielle

Informed discussion

I think an institution has an obligation of informing a student if they are in danger of taking out too many student loans, which would increase their chances of going into default. The financial aid officer has the student's record and history of the schools they may have already been to. It would be in the best interest of the student not to incur so much debt.

Hugh Millard

Informed discussion

This again comes back to asking the student open ended questions to have them open up and really express their needs. Sometimes students have never been exposed to this because they haven't really had anyone in their life who has cared. As an admissions person, we must have a way of showing understanding and compassion

Hugh Millard

Qualified Students

We have a assessment test that we give all of our prospective students, that they must have a certain score for the particular program they are going into to qualify for that program. As admissions reps we try to engage the prospective students into conversations to uncover their needs and wants and why they feel that the program they are looking into will be best for them.

staying up-to-date and compliant

In the state where I will be certified, (and the only state where I will act as an agent)I have added the state's board of career colleges and schools website to my "favorites" on the web portal I use. Instead of waiting for updates to be "handed-down", I can periodically check the website for changes or additions made to stae laws and rules.

Michael Werner

programs of interest

At the school that I am associated with, agents must supply prospective students with TWO potwential programs of interest. This allows the student to choose, or compare several areas of study. If the prospective student does not wish to be presented with additional information concerning the second area of interest, at least he or she had the OPPORTUNITY to view an additional program.

Michael Werner

acceptance of credits

I was suprised to learn that to be compliant a school MUST state it's policy concerning the acceptance of credits. At the school I am associated with, we are required to state that the transferability of credits is made at the discretion of the receiving institution. That statement covers both credits received by the institution I am currently employed and transferability of credit FROM the institution to another institution.

New ADA

As a new ADA I am very curious if there is any significant marketing or success using social media?
