As an agent or admissions rep, I believe it would be important to stay up to date on what other schools in the area offer, as well as their strengths and weaknesses in order to know what edge your school may have. Has anyone had experience with this?

There was a few different types of accreditation titles shown. Ours was not listed there, makes me wonder how many different types of accrediations ohio offers. And can a institution be recgonized from multiple agencys?

I found this section to be interesting because I did not realized that things like our library/resource center is manditory.

I did not realize that schools need to provide placement and graduation rates from the past 3 years. We do provide rates here- but didn't no it was the past 3 yrs. Is this a combined percentage or should they be divided not only by program but by year as well?

I look forward to completing my resource notebook so I have a quick snap shot of all of our required documents.

I like having a Resource guide, at my side helping me learn the entire compliance rules for Ohio.

It does help to have a resource notebook. That is a good idea.

There are many policies and procedures that are not new or surprising to me but some were ones that I never really thought about. Once I read through the course, it was nice to see some of those topics come up to bring them back to the front of my mind and actively be conscious of them and re-realize their importance. Were ther any topics like that for you?

Does anyone have one have any ideas on how to stay up to date on rules?

Does anyone text prospective students?

I'm curious to know how everyone else is organzing your paperwork? I have to binders I keep plus and "orginals" file incase my binders go "missing."

It was very interesting to know that a rep from another state has to be licensed within the state of ohio to talk to a perspective student.

Training, is never ending, it is a tool that we all must utilize and take advantage of as it can definaltely bring about success.

The catalogue must be given to all students so they can refer to the laws and bi laws of school. And know the cost, curriculum, and courses as a tangiable means.

It was good to discover that Admissions Reps who recruit Ohio students must be licensed in Ohio also.

Our school is currently nationally accredited. We are in the process of hopefully becoming regionally accredited. It is a task to stay on top of both accreditations and give students accurate information. Our administration is very good about sending us updates and letting us know what to say to prospective and current students.

I work primarily with high school senior and recent grads. We found a great way to contact students is using social media like Facebook and Twitter or texting. Texting students is a great way to get in touch with students who may not like talking on the phone and prefer to text or are simply out of minutes. Social media has also been a great resource. If we are looking for another way to contact a student, simply looking up the student by their email address is a good way to reach out to them.

I keep my enrollment forms handy at my desk. We also have a school-wide site with up to date forms. I have an alert set up to notify me when forms have been updated or changed. I keep that site in my bookmarks so it is easy to access if I need it quickly.

I understood that there was a lot of information that went with this position. There is a lot you have to learn about the schools and other programs. Knowing about the programs is just a little bit of it, you have to know life outside of that program and what the work environment is like. There are also a lot of rules and regulations that go along with this. I knew how important they were but this really illustrated it.

It allows them to know about us before they come in. they can see the agent they are going to sit down with in their environment. Not only are they able to see what the person looks like but they can see the desk that they will be sitting at. This allows them to be more comfortable before they come it, because it is like they have been here before. We are able to communicate to students faster. Contacting them on Facebook is sometimes the fastest way possible and they know who it is from, not just a number. Yes they do, we have had seminars on social networking sites so that we are about to relate to our students as best as possible. We also can show the students what is going on at the school and events that they have participated in.
