Our "program" consists of a required number of "clock hours" in order to complete a specific curriculum. "Credit for Prior Learning" may be taken into consideration after evaluation by our instructors. Student "enrollment" takes place only after all entrance requirements and documentation has been received and a candidate has been through an initial interview. Are these examples what you are looking for?
I have made a great Resoource Notebook with the excellent information and techniques for Hiring that was provided in the content of this course.
All the cource components describe so well the details on how to get good hiring results decisions that I have decided to share this information with my colleagues and encourage them to take this course.
Among the information that I included in my Resource Notebook is the:
1. Hiring Process and its component
2. Factors that help define the Job and
Requirements.
3. Screening Resumes for warning signs
4. Effective Questions to ask candidates
5. Inappropriate Topics (not legal to ask)
6. Samples of the legal way to ask
inappropriate topic questions
7. Best way to check references
8. The Job Offer tips.
I have been working in this institution for over 30 years, and I am well informed about the institution rules and regulations that must be followed. After taking this course I agree that we follow almost the same hiring process that is discussed in the content of this course, and that recruiting potential talented people brings great results since they are better motivated and can be better trained to fit this organization.
I found the information to set up the Resource Notebook very imformative and it really gave us much insight on how to organize it and keep the links needed.
My first step was to print the material for the Florida Guidelines.
My next step will be to print the material for my specific institution's guidelines.
Do you have any further suggestions?
I am new to my job and I have just started pulling together information for my Resource Notebook. Right now I am keeping copies of important information in a manila folder. I have a copy of our School Catalog, Course Directory, Summaries of our various Diploma Programs and assorted CIE regulations. I'm looking forward to organizing and adding to my collection of useful information. I had never before thought to organize this information into a 'notebook', but doing so will be easy to do and VERY valuable and helpful! I'm sure I will learn quite a bit over the course of the next few weeks about my institution, as well as learning about the rules and regulations that must be followed. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I really appreciate the suggestion and the opportunity to participate in this training.
Patty, I'm usually one who resists 'killing trees' by gathering lots of pieces of paper together into "books"...especially since I spend so much time online. But, it's true...some things just have to be written down in order to 'gel' in my brain...so I find myself writing notes, highlighting, tabbing, etc. I know some technology applications allow you to perform these same functions through the application functions...but I don't think we'll ever get completely away from good old fashioned pen and paper. So your idea of a notebook is really valuable. Thanks.
Director of First Impressions is a great title. In fact it's one that can be shared by all of us who have the privilege and responsibility of greeting potential new students.
Some of the commonly used terms are enrollment, start date, enrollment agreement, termination date, job placement, financial aid. The term enrollment means when the student registers to take a program; start date is the first day of class, enrollment agreement which is the contract student signs which tells him/her the important policies and expenses of the program, termination date, which is the date when the student completes the program, job placement which is the help the school offers the student in looking for a job, and financial aid which is the source of funding for students. Another term used is "policies and procedures of the school" which are the policies of the school as found in the Catalog and Handbook.
Enrollment, Enrollment Agreement,and Institution are all common terms used during the admission process at my institution.
Although all of the admissions "lingo" is very important...we must remeber to speak in laymen's terms for the student. Their understanding is essential to their success.
Hey Patty! These are a few of the terms we use at our beautiful campus:
Enrollment Agreement or EA
Tuition
Accreditation
Start Date
Financial Aid
My being a new institution is still in the learning process of it all. I entent to add this verbage to my potential student interviews. I learned a great deal from taking this course. Thx.
For-Proit institution, non-accreditation,interview agent, enrollment agreement, national accreditation, ect.
Some of the terms that are helpful to know are: start date, cost of credits, admissions requirements and graduation dates. These are helpful to know so we can relay the proper information to the student.
I access all documents necessary in my notebook because is a good references for my work. When I have chance update any new information. For example Rules,Regulation for my institution.
. Is very important because your compile the Statutes and Rules. For that reason is providing the resources so you can access the all information.
I placed all the printouts from this course in my resource notebook. I have discovered that there are many guidlines, policies and procedures to ashere to. I did not know that there were so many.
I have placed the following information on my resource Notebook: School Catalog, Faculty Handbook, Admission Requirements,deadlines, Student Enrollment Agreement, Organizational Chart, etc. I discovered specific minimum scores for TOEFL that are required for each and every program.
Elizabeth,
Remember both the enrollment agreement and the catalog constitute the contract between the student and the school.
Douglas,
Thank you for your post from an online perspective.
