In the state where I will be certified, (and the only state where I will act as an agent)I have added the state's board of career colleges and schools website to my "favorites" on the web portal I use. Instead of waiting for updates to be "handed-down", I can periodically check the website for changes or additions made to stae laws and rules.

At the school that I am associated with, agents must supply prospective students with TWO potwential programs of interest. This allows the student to choose, or compare several areas of study. If the prospective student does not wish to be presented with additional information concerning the second area of interest, at least he or she had the OPPORTUNITY to view an additional program.

I was suprised to learn that to be compliant a school MUST state it's policy concerning the acceptance of credits. At the school I am associated with, we are required to state that the transferability of credits is made at the discretion of the receiving institution. That statement covers both credits received by the institution I am currently employed and transferability of credit FROM the institution to another institution.
