Erin,
Under fair consumer practices, all fees must be disclosed both those that are refundable and those that are nonrefundable.

osniel,
The enrollment agreement and the catalog constitute the contract between the students and the school. This is a very important part of the enrollment process.

alessandra,
Accreditation is often asked by prospective students. They want to know about the accrediting agency, are they recognized by US DOE and how will that affect their education.

alessandra,
Learning the definitions is like learning a new language. Understanding the definitions and how they are applied is important in your role as admissions representative.

Elery,
Very good advice! Finding out what peaked their interest and brought them to your school will tell you whether your marketing dollars and leads are working for you.

Elery,
Accreditation should include the full name of the accrediting body, their contact information, and how to submit information to the agency.

Make sure under scholarships that they all include the statement for those who qualify in order to meet the standards of rule.

Lawrence,
Very interested in your university orientation! Do most of your students attend this orientation? Do you find that students are more successful if they do attend as opposed to those who do not attend?
Patty Aronoff
John,
Do the certifications for those programs actually come directly from Microsoft? Or are you able to produce the certifications directly from your campus?

I placed the following documents in my resource notebook:
- Commission For Independent Education Rules
- Rule 6E-1.0032, F.A.C. Fair Consumer Practices
- Section 1005.38, F.S. Actions Against a
Licensee and Other Penalties
- Section 1005.34, F.S. Fair Consumer Practices; Condition of Operation
While working with potential students I will go over the student enrollment agreement and the catalog. When the student signs the enrollment agreement they know that their program is approved and they know the cost of tuition and all associated fees.
Application Fee - Covers the processing fee and Wonderlic Assessment Exam
Enrollment Process - consist in completeing the enrollment process,Wonderlic Test, obtaining Drivers License and Social Security and Proof of graduation.
I didnt know that either. I have kept the Catalog, Enrollment Agreement and the breakdown of all the programs.

I am placing all the modules information in my Resource Notebook.
I have placed everything from the modules into a binder, in case I need to go back and look at it for confirmation of rules and regulations.
Some of the definitions we use here at the campus are:
Accreditation - Accrediting Agency
Advertising
Enrollment
Enrollment Agreement
Institution
Enrollment Agreement... a lot!
Program - definitely
The rest... not so much that I have heard. I learned new definitions like:
Fair Consumer Practices
Independent Postsecondary Educational Institution
Main Florida Headquarters
Institution Catalog & the Institution Enrollment Agreement. I did not know they were legal documents with pretty much EVERYTHING about the school!
"The enrollment agreement is a legally binding agreement"
It is good to have a Resource Notebook because it keeps you with all the updated material you need.
Thanks Patty!
