Review of Institutional Policies

 

I was astonished to read that institutions had a 20-year time span without any government regulation.

 

Staff upset with supervisor

While I was reading the material, it is really challenging for a school to control every single person that comes into contact with students. While there are systems in place to minimize the risk, there is always a possibility that a staff member does the wrong thing on purpose, because he or she is upset with management for example. I recently was in a networking event, where I overheard someone saying they had done this on purpose to get his boss in trouble.

Have anyone experience this or seen this happen? I would like to know the outcomes when someone does this on purpose to tarnish the reputation of the institution they work for.

Be there

Support of student is the mission of all educators.

Misleading Statements

what is the best way to ensure that admission reps are current with all of these regulations?  How often should training be done

Inspect What You Expect

The old saying holds true for all departments within a campus.  The education industry is organic and by that I mean is constantly changing.  Inspecting what we do consists of ensuring that what we do is compliant but it also consists of making sure that what we are doing satisfies current directives.

Posting Competitors Tuition costs

Is it ethical or compliant to post our Nursing School's competitors tuition costs?

PELL

CAN A PERSON WHO IS WITH IN THE AGES OF 70 TO 80 BE ELEGIBLE FOR TITILE IV FUNDS? HAS A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA STATES DOES NOT HAVE A BACHELOR DEGREE.

 

Is is best to have an interview process based upon a points system or first come first serve basis when you can only enroll a certain number students?

What is the best process?

Should you call a student that is in the DNC

If a referal is in the DNC list should you call 

What should you say if a student wants to know about the transfer credits to another institution

Transfer ofcredits correct answer ?

Competitor

If you know a competitor is closing, is it always best to not say anything to that purspective student?

Transparency

 I think the transparency aspect of the training should make clear that within the next 5 to 10 years there may be a substantial change in higher education, especially for online education.  I suspect that the number of online universities and or degree programs will no longer be in business as the U.S. Depart. of Education imposes greater scrutiny and requirements.

Very Interesting

I found this seminar very interesting and at the same time very informative. At the beginning I was kind of confused, but aftet reading it became very easy to understand and overall, it contained information that we use on a daily basis.

Students with Disabilities

The is a facinating topic and I am learning and unlearning so many things as I study this material. I am blown away by the misinformation that I have accepted over the years as being fact, as it pertains to disabilitiees and the challenges that so many in our society have.

Transparency

Transparency plays a great part in building trust with potential students and the best way to build trust is to just tell the truth.

Raising the Bar

I felt that this training was very helpful to me.  At first, I didn't pay attention to financial aid or anything outside the classroom. I thought that wasn't my area  and just refer students to the experts.  I,m sure it is imperative for all faculty and staff to know the guidelines and policies of the institution. 

Research and discussion thread responses

How much time is spent researching topics for interaction during dicussion threads?  

DNC, CAN-SPAM and Title IV Funding

I personally learned quite a bit throught this sectoion about the DNC list and the guidelines around it. In my current company we have always been told to stay on compliance around it but never told exactly what the guidelines were. Now, that i know i have abetter understanding and know what the guideline s are. 

Under the Title IV funding and the grand-fathering a person in does this apply to every institution or does each institution make their own rules and regulations around the issue? 

Mission statement question

Mission statements are important because they provide directions for new employees and can be referenced during difficult times.

My role

As an admissions representative, it is my role to ensure that our school is a good option for prospective students. This involves asking questions that concern a student's goals and career inquiries. While having knowledge on disability accommodations, I don't have the authority to promise these accommodations will be made. I understand my position and will lead disabled students to the right faculty member.
