Martin , Great points Martin. All staff should be on the same page, and while it is up to your leadership to make sure that you have the correct information, you too must be willing to go out and find the material that provides you with information about the changes. Donna Guisado

Belen, That's the right answer Belen, especially where BPPE is concerned. One of their requirements is that anyone who requests a catalog can have access to it. It's important that you are already tuned in to that. Donna Guisado

Accreditation and Regulatory Oversight

Cynthia , Yes, and the state has very specific guidelines on what your enrollment agreement and catalog have to say. I would suggest that you become familiar with them, as they can also help you to understand the things you can and cannot say to a prospective student. Donna Guisado

What Do You Know About Your Institution's Organizational Structure?

Cynthia , As a former instructor, I used to love it when the admissions reps would come and tour my classroom! It gave me and my students an opportunity to share what we were doing. Perhaps your director or manager would allow you time to actually sit in on different classes to really get a feel for what's going on in there. We require all new hires for any department to sit in on classes as well as other departments to really understand how the organization works.

Cynthia , I think you are absolutely doing the right thing in directing the students to the catalog and to the proper department to respond to their questions. I would also become familiar with the required disclosures on your website, as the students may also have questions for you about the information contained in them. You might not need to be able to address all of the specifics in the disclosures, but knowing where to direct them, as you do with financial aid, is important knowledge to have. Donna Guisado
