It is all inclusive when it comes to our students. All departments need to have an understanding of the roles administered in the school.

Knowledge is power and definitions are critical to the process.

Accreditation is often confused with licensure by many people.

We appreciate your honesty! Definitions are an important aspect as they explain what terms means. The regulations are your guidance for compliance.

The resource notebook is an excellent tool. Having it available makes for quick reference and easy to make as your own,
Accreditaton, Licensure, Enrollment Agreement, catalog, Placement statistics, course descriptions,
I have been supportive of the idea that all Admissions perosnnel should have access to and knowledge of Admissions requiremnts. The information listed to include in the Resource Book is what I use with up to date advertising materials, reps responses from previous questions and situations and how it was handled simple department budgets and other infroamtion.
enrollment agreement
Institution
scholarship
Sample of Creativity = require 2 pieces in any medium
Terms = 3 month intervals (or blocks)
Demo Reel = video presentation designed to showcase your talents to a potential employer
Texturing = Creating convincing computer-generated imagery, or surfacing
We cover a wealth of information to a prospective student to ensure they understand the admissions and acceptance process and that they feel they are a natural fit for our program.
As academic dean, it is a good idea to be aware of the tools that the admissions department is using. The Admissions Resource Notebook can be a segment of the Academic Dean's binder.
At my institution two of the most often used terms would be accreditation and program. Because of the many career based schools in our geographic region, many students want to know about our accreditation status and the transferability of course credits. We also reference the term program frequently, because some programs have different requirements for completion. The discussion regarding the program is also necessary to align the needs and desires of the students with the best educational program that will help them achieve their ultimate goal.
