Excellent response! There are many terms that are used in the enrollment process and must be followed according to rule. We always need to make sure that our prospective students understand what the terms mean as they are part of the contract they will be signing.

During the admissions process at our institution, we commonly use several of the terms mentioned in the first module of this training. One that comes to mind is the term accreditation. Because we are a law school, prospects are especially concerned with whether we have American Bar Association accreditation. Having this accreditation is a strong selling point for our institution.
