By now you are gaining an understanding of the Admissions Staff Training Process. The goals are for you to know everything currently possible about the Florida Statutes and Rules that affect all admissions staff, and for you to know as much as possible about your institution and your job as you perform your key role - to enroll qualified students who will benefit from your programs. Training specific to your institution is additional training offered by your supervisors.

Almost every part of the admissions process requires that forms be completed and signed properly. We have already discussed many of them and suggested that you practice completing these forms. This is all very serious as the enrollment agreement and admission process is regulated by the Florida Commission for Independent Education and your accrediting body, as well as Title IV if you are accredited and Title IV approved

Typically the advertising and marketing plans are designed by your Marketing Department or Admissions Director. Ideally you will be informed about the marketing plan. If not, ask for the plan and samples of the marketing efforts. Prospective students will initially learn about your institution based on the ads and promotions they see.

Most institutions have scheduled meetings for all faculty and staff. If the institution is accredited a certain number of meetings may be required. It is important that you know when these meetings will be held so that you can schedule to participate. Ideally an agenda of topics to be discussed will be issued in advance of each meeting.

An institution shall publish and provide to each enrolled student a catalog which includes at minimum, name, address, telephone of the institution.

The goal of this course is to guide you in learning about the florida state licensing agency and regulations.
