Refunds on Books

There are updates to textbooks that render previous versions useless. There could be a case wherein a student seeks a refund on an unused book, yet the semester has begun and the book is going to be updated before the next time the course is offered. Since it is too late for another student to have the need for that edition, will the student receive a refund?

School Catalog

I think the School Catalog will be a very helpful to new students. What do you think?

Be honest

It is important to be honest and ethical about transfer of credits. We all know it is up to the receiving institution and I am not afraid to tell a student or his/her parents that it is up to the receiving institution. But make sure you let them know that our students work in their field upon graduating. I found that is helpful. So always stay ahead of the game as to what graduation rates are, placement rates, etc.

Know your school and different departments

It is very essential to know your school and all the different departments your school has to offer. You want to leave a potential student feeling that they are excited about enrolling. So it is best to stay knowledgeable of all the different careers associated with the different programs.

Marilyn Murkins

Enrollment

For example, you have a student who has ADHD, should you still enroll student if he/she is interested in program, and you as a admission representative has a gut feeling that this is not a good fit for student?

Clock hours vs. Credit hour

The school with whom I am employed uses a clock hour program. I found it very interesting to learn about the difference in policy between a clock hour school and a credit hour school, in terms of tuition refunds.

Compliance

Compliance, compliance, compliance! This is so important when dealing with an educational institution. Rules and regulations are put into place in order to avoid lawsuits, satisfy customers, and provide the best quality for your institution. It also creates a standardized framework for all employees so they can do their jobs effectively and efficiently in the most organization and compliant way as possible.

Admission and Financial Aid

It is very important as a representative to know the details of the financial aid process when you are dealing with prospective students. However you have to be sure that you only discuss those things that are in compliance with the rules and regulations of the state requirements. Students must know that there is financial aid services available for those who qualify, but representatives are unable to project the amount the student could receive.

Frequency of Changes

Has anyone noticed how often the State actually makes changes? It seems that one month intervals are the recommended time frame for checking on new information, but from those of you with some experience, how often have you seen recognizable changes occur?
