Being upfront with students

It is very important to make it a practice to be free and clear with prospective and current students. There shouldn't be a sales-like fear of disclosing too much to where you might lose the student. Be confident in your school and its programs, and its benefits to the students, and be honest with them in a matter-of-fact way.

credit transferring

Not knowing whether your credits will transfer is very frustrating. It makes you wonder whether the classes you took actually mean something to a future position within a company.

Remember Admission Representatives are not Counselors

Many of the students I speak with have not had much support or positive encouragement throughout their life. Sometimes when I talk with these students I feel that I am in counselor roll. I know that is not my job or that I am not authorized to be in that counselor roll. However, sometimes I struggle with reminding myself where the line is drawn between being an Admissions Representative and a counselor. Does anyone else have the same experiences and feelings? If so, what do you do to stay on the Admissions Representative side of things?

Transferring credits

I was not aware how specific the policy is on credit transfers. Institutions have made it very difficult to move from one institution to another

I will review the laws to make sure there were no changes and I will keep an updated copy for myself and in my file cabinet.

Admissions paperwprk

I do. They will ask things about tuition or refund policies. I go over those things with them at the time they ask, as well as when we go over and sign the enrollment agreement. I actually feel it make the process easier when they ask questions.
