All Forms Required When Enrolling

I was wondering exactly what forms are required by the student to enroll in a program of study? Is this usually covered completely in the Enrollment Agreement? I would just like to prepare as much as possible and give the prospective students time to gather these documents and all information they would need.

"Living Document" Resource Notebook?

I think the Resource Notebook is an excellent tool. I look forward to keeping it up to date with changes. Do you know if there is an electronic/online copy to reference when our hard copy is not nearby? It could also be nice to have a "living document" version where we can all colaborate, include helpful notes, examples etc.

Conflict of Interest

I agree with and appreciate the laws regarding knowing basics about financial aid and other tuition assistance but then referring to a separate department for specifics. Integrity above all includes not selling financial aid/scholarships for enrollment.

Information

Should we limit the exposure we have to information that we are not permitted to share with prospective students? The concern is that information may slip out that could result in disciplinary actions. It is also nice to have as much information as possible, but there is a lot of risk associated with having answers that cannot be shared.
