This really strikes a chord with me. There are things that you hear from potential students that have visited other schools.  I try not to take it personally, but it is personal. I am confident on the attributes and strengths I bring to the school. 

I don't understand why another school has to make such negative comments. What good does that do. If you believe in yourself and what your school stands for .. I just don't understand.

If your potential students come visit your school - wouldn't your want to emphasize on why you shouldn't go there, but explain why you would want to come to you.

Postsecondary education schools are not required to to hold a graduation ceremony for their graduates.

Though I understand this may not necessarily need to be required I am a little shocked at the idea that certain school would actually opt out of this. Graduations acts as ameans of something for enrolled students to look forward to and work towards. It is a celebration of their acheivements and goals.

As an admissions rep I also find showing pictures of graduation ceremonies and explaining to students about graduation often excites them. Potential students being able to picture themselves in a cap and gown and being recognized for their acheivements acts as motivation and encouragement.

I don't quite understand why a school would choose not to hold a graduation ceremony (regardless of if it's required or not).

Thoughts?

What on line CEU sessions would you recommend that instructors and administrators take?

I am finding it VERY eye opening in my heading a new school...I have spent months digging into the Adminstrative codes and other regulators...the delightful part of this effort is that I am finding every regulation to be simply moral and ethical "common sense!"
