Kenneth,
Thank you for the feedback. The notebook can be your one-stop shop for the information you deal with on a daily basis.
Courtney,
It takes an entire school to graduate a successful student. Working together is an essential element to meet that goal.
Cecilia,
Thank you for the feedback. Some feel a resource notebook is a burdensome process but in the end it is a great tool.
Amanda,
Good luck to you on this endeavor. Don't be afraid to make the notebook your own and add those answers to questions readily available. It is better to ask than to mislead.
Patti,
How do you ensure that the student is aware of their meanings?
John,
Excellent advice. Each person should have the basics and then develop the notebook to yourself and your institution.
Diane,
Another suggestion is to have open forums with other staff members to bring to the table other experiences, questions, etc. That way, everyone learns.
Yan,
Excellent! It is important that the prospective clients understand these terms as they are part of the contract they are signing.
Diane,
How do you make sure the prospective student understands these terms. Often clients mix up accreditation and licensure.
Terms and definitions commonly used during admissions process at institution are enrollment agreement, admissions representative, and enrollment.
I'm just now starting the course so as yet I haven't started compiling my notebook. However I really like the concept. Our industry is indeed constantly changing and it can be difficult for Admissions Reps to not only keep track of information BUT also to make sure that they are presenting the most up-to-date data. As a Campus Director, keeping a Resource Notebook will be a tool to help me also to be current in updating information from each department as well as regulations/policy changes. I've been in educational sales for over 20 years and I can most certainly attest to all the changes I have witnessed. I most certainly like this training concept.
I have started with the statutes and that terms. Will also add additional information as I go through this training and gather from other departments in my institution.

The Resource Notebook is a great idea for both new and seasoned Admissions employees. As regulatory requirements change, seasoned employees may not always be so compelled to keep themselves current, believing their years of experience will suffice. Requiring all to maintain and update their own Resource Notebook will help correct this. It’s a great source for both industry and individual institutional requirements.
I have realized that every single department from Admissions to financial aid right down to the school plays a vital role in every step of the students time with the Academy of their choice.
I think the resource notebook is definitely a great tool to keep up to date with all requirements and sources.I have printed out the terms and definitions listed and have placed them in the notebook. GREAT TOOL!
I am also new to the Admissions arena. Creating this notebook is a great resource for me. I often have a lot of questions, and sometimes I am not able to speak with someone who may have the answer. I feel more confident knowing I can pull out my notebook, and possibly get the answers on my own.
The Resource Notebook is a great tool to assist students. When meeting with a student it’s imperative to have a reference guide available to ensure all questions are answered truthfully and accurately. I recommend taking some time to decide what you want to put in your resource book. When assembling my notebook, I decided to include an academic calendar for each term, an organizational chart with professor information, and a student checklist to offer information about each step of the enrollment process.
When assembling my notebook it gave me an opportunity to learn some invaluable information about my school. I learned who the officers and members of our board of directors were. I also learned who our institution had an affiliation and membership with. This is important because when speaking to students about career decisions I have some substantive knowledge about some our relationships in the community and make some good recommendations to them.
Some of the terms and definitions commonly used during the admission process at our institution include but not limited to accreditation, licensure, national certification, prerequisite accredited educational requirements for admission,assessment of prior learning, enrollement, Title IV, program and curriculum, and placement, fair comsumer practices etc. We must explain each of the terms claerly to the prospective students and make them understand better what goals they are going to achieve.
