I'm totaly agree with you. This is exacly my way from study.
You also can have a checklist to serve you as a tracker on making sure everything is in tack with the students files
The process flow chart is great! It provides a quick visual reminder and makes sure you have everything in order. Great idea!
The sheet protectors are an excellent idea. Keeps everything clean and professional.
Compliance and details in student files is extremely important.
That's an excellent idea. Your co-workers will have valuable insight to the nuances of your particular institution.
You will find that initially a notebook is an arduous process, but it assists you twofold. One in that you become more familiar with its contents. Second, when you need to refer to the binder you will have organized it in a fashion that you personally have built according to your own requirements.
Don't forget to refer also to the state website occasionally to see what is new with the regulatory side.
You will find that most potential students are focused on their relationship with the institution they are looking to attend. Many times you will need to "show" them the rules of the state to clarify why your institution is doing this particular requirement.
Christine, You will find the best way to organize according to your individual institution's process. While you will have the compliance side of the binder, you will quickly find your own reference line and setup. Don't feel that everyone's binder will be the same. Most institutions require a specific guideline for the student side.
It is amazing how savvy people are today. Having the binder keeps you on step and away from misspeaking to a potential student.
Excellent! Compliance is a key factor.
Great idea! Even though having a binder seems "old school" when speaking with potential students showing them documents in a professional binder shows you are on top of your game.
Folder for each school, then tabs for each program within the school, then a process flow chart for admission to financial aid, and onto enrollment.
I organize the paperwork by school folder, then within each school folder, I have tabs for each program, then within each program tab, I have a process flow chart.
i have a personal binder but also keep all docs in my email
I'm dividing each section into sub-catagories. All the statues for each section have their owm place. I have also included my demos for each which are in page protectors. This will keep them neat and I will be able to access them in the future. I'm using a standard 3-ring binder as this will become the admissions team reference guide. I think it's important to have the topic sheet printed and placed in the beginning of each section also. This will tell each person using it what will be covered.
As I mentioned in my initial posting; I have created an electronic file as well as a hard copy of the resource book. I have labeled each tab to be used as a quick reference whenever necessary. I also plan on keeping it updated and current as rules and regulations may change.

I created a resource book,and try to follow the rules as outlined in the satues. Carefully reviewing the documents, and identifying all the places that the admission requirement for my institution list requires.
I am not certain how to answer this question. Does this question pertain to the order in which a student's file should be placed with regards to the admissions process or is it in regards to the resource binder I have created for this course requirements.
If it is, then of course I have created an electronic file and also have hard copy prints that have been organized and labelled according to each section and Rule and Regulations. I do not know what else to say.
