As an admissions representative I may ask the student with a known disability if he or she has any concerns about how their disability may affect their pursuits. What I cannot ask is the back story as to how they becamse disabled.

Persons with disabilities need to provide documentation of their condition to establish that the stident is a person with a disability, and to establish what, if any, accomodations are required.

All learning disabilities are not the same. I learned the difference between Dyslexia and Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia. Dyslexia is a difficulty reading or comprehending what is read, Dyscalculia is difficulty with math, and Dysgraphia is difficulty writting.

Diabilities are seperated into two categories; visable and invisible. Visible disabilities are ones you can see such as mobility issues, blindness, and deafness. Invisible disabilities are ones that you cannot necessarily see the signs of like attention defecit, chronic health, and learning disabilities.

Compensation and bonuses cannot correlate with enrollments directly nor indirectly. Raises can be based on things such as senority, knowledge, analytic ability, dependability, punctuality, etc. To an admissions representative this means that having the most enrollments but not doing a thorough job will get you nowhere. What atters is that you do a good and consistent job of properly representing the school and coursework, and enroll only qualified students.

Schools need to be clear about their descriptions to prospective students regarding course delivery methods, schedules, required time commitments, and other items related to course work delivery. In doing this the school ensures that the student has a realistic expectation of what will be required of them to successfully complete the program.

When a prospective student comes in or calls asking for information about the school, the first thing the Admissions Representative does is ask for contact information. If the person inquiring does not wish to give their contact information the rep must still provide information on the school as requested.

When you are interviewing a potential student, and you ask for a referal, you must ensure the person refered is not on the do-not-call list. If they are on the DNC list then you are not permitted to call the referal.
