Hi Patty,
The instructor will request the student's withdrawal from a program if absences exceed the allowed attendance rate. The student will have to take the course again. This does not happen often because we offer the same course at different times in a quarter. For example, if a student is enrolled in the course that meets on Sundays and is absent from class 8, they may sit in on class 8 of the same course that meets Wednesday evenings during that quarter. Students who are unable to continue classes for medical reasons or severe personal problems can take a leave of absence until they are able to return to class. They may pick up where they left off in the course the next quarter that it is offered. Proper documentation will be required to substantiate a student's withdrawal.

Mary,
Thank you for your feedback! Your resource notebook will be a great reward and your efforts well deserved.

Carey,
What happens if they fall below the 85%? Are the students dismissed or are they put on attendance probation?

James,
Both the enrollment agreement and the catalog constitute the contract between the student and the school. In signing the enrollment agreement, they are attesting they have read and received the catalog.

Joel,
Students must fully understand the costs involved with enrollment. This includes any no refundable costs such as supplies, testing, etc.
Patty Aronoff
Joel,
Make sure your client fully understands your accreditation. Many do not understand and make assumptions that are not true.

Jeremy,
Giving full information to prospective students helps them to make a educated decision on enrollment. The more information the better.

Open Enrollment: Students may sign up for a course at any time, up to 24 hours before the start, or as much as 9 months in advance for the current academic year, assuming that there is still space available when they enroll.
Entrance Requirements: Prospective students must have a high school diploma or an equivalency diploma (GED) to be accepted for enrollment.
Attendance Requirement: An overall attendance rate of at least 85% (10 classes in a 12 week course) is required.
I am the School Certifying Official at my school for Veterans who would like to use their VA education benefits.
I have developed a handout for the Veterans that explains the process they need to go through to enroll at our school and the documents that we are required to have in their student file for periodic reviews by the Veterans Administration.
While I have 2 VA resource notebooks as the School Certifying Official, I think this particular handout would be a great tool for all of my staff who talk to perspective VA students to have in their resource notebook. My staff will then be able to help a VA perspective student start the enrollment process immediately by being able to hand them (or email them) this set of guidelines and procedures.
Enrollment Agreement: A binding contract between the student and the school
General Admissions Requirements: Sets forth requirements to ensure that students have a reasonable expectation of successfully completing the program.
Accreditation, programs, courses, and fees and expenses are common terms and definitions used during the admission process at your institution.
Enrollment, accreditation, and programs are definitions commonly used during the admissions process.
We discuss the program, which is a prescribed group of courses, taken in a particular sequence which will ultimately lead a student to their degree.
We typically discuss Title IV, which is the federal allocation of funds for postsecondary education.
We discuss the enrollment process, where the student registers to take a specific program and all costs, fee and requirements are explained.
I have printed all notes and all regulations from the first chapter. I have had to order a 2" binder from our book store with dividers so that I can add all our documentation that students need to sign in the enrollment process and which area it comes from. EX: Audit sheet - Dean's Office.
I will be placing in every single page in this class that I can print into the notebook. I have made highlights of the important information that I need to know and be able to explain to the student. I also highlight information that I did not know.
I have been assisting in admissions for 7 years now. I have always been incharge of the internatinal students and reporting to SEVIS, I was the Admission Co-Ordinator until we could find a full time one.
I truly am enjoying this course of compliance.
Thank you. I was reminded of that when we had to go through each state and ask what we had to do to be able to have distance learning classes available to their prospective students. Some required a campus, so just denied it and others gave us approval, but every 2 0r 3 years we have to check with them again to see if they will allow us to stay in that state.
Thank you for your information.
merlene,
You are off to a great start building the best resource book. You will start to put all the information together as you discover the rules and regs and the spirit of the law behind them.

Tiffany,
The state of Florida is a consumer protection state in that the students are protected by the same regs no matter which school they attend in Florida.

Marva,
The more you know, the more you learn, the better admissions rep you will be. We have such an important role and the information we provide must e accurate and thorough.
