The importance of the admissions dep training
I have been working for a post secondary education institution and we always were aware about all these regulations but not until know I realize how important and how many details we need to be conscious about. This training so far has helped me understand more about my institution and how my accurate performance will influence our look.
I Agree,it is very important for admission to receive training to do a better job.
I agree. It is very important to understand what it is to be an admissions rep because it affect the students that you are enrolling or speaking to.
I agree with you that this training has helped to build relationship among our departments. I have been working for a proprietary school for many years and this is the first time that I really understood how in depth the admissions job is. Also learning about the regulations helps me to do my job better.
Elaina,
It is much more than that, it's true!
Ania,
Training is an integral part of the development.
Jennifer,
Clear definitions are integral to success.
David,
Consistency brings compliance. They work hand-in-hand.
Joshua,
I agree! Starts are only healthy for the school if they stay and graduate. A poor start is nothing more than an expensive drop later.
Daisy,
Exactly! It is not always about intent, it's about misleading the student.
Meghan,
States are very different in how the regulate and therefore, this training provides you the Florida rules and regulations.
It truly is important for admissions to receive training such as this because it needs to be understood that it is called admissions and not sales for a reason. Their job focus should be helping students enroll in a program that is right for them and making sure students are properly prepared for the program and set up for success.
At my last institution, there were too many admissions representatives worrying about their "start numbers" so they were enrolling students who weren't properly informed of the requirements, total cost, etc... Institutions are also at fault with this type of behavior. This type of training is beneficial for admissions and the institution, but ends up benefiting the students they serve the most.
I agree, I have learned so much more about the admissions rep's job. They have alot of rules/ responsibilities to adhere to that I was not aware of. Their job isn't simply "enrolling students". They must make sure they are following the guide lines.
Being consistent is very important in our line of work, you have to bring a hard work ethic everyday. I will also use some of the terms as well.
I have to agree, I have only been working in Admissions for a few months now and I do think being consistent with your training definatly helps keep up to date with the regulations. I also was happy to see all these definitions and terms they are going to be very helpful for me to have a full understanding of everything.
I agree. The admissions department needs to be trained properly to advise students in the best possible way along with protecting the school.
Fasil,
It is about ethics and honesty. We are protecting our clients and ourselves when we do the right thing.
It is beneficial to have online training such as this one, to not only keep Admissions regulations in line, but it helps keep our relationships with other departments in line as well. Coming from a different proprietary school from another state, it is interesting to see how rules and regulations differ.
The importance of providing clear and correct information is not just an ethical issue but a legal one as misrepresentation of the program can lead to denial, probation or revocation of the license.
This training has taught me alot in interacting with students...how it's important to make sure information given is on point and concise. I agree w/ Patty and feel the rules are there to protect us.
