The CIE makes sure that we as Admissions Reps are compliant and well-informed so when we speak to potential students, they are able to make an informed decision in returning to school.
Jason,
Absolutely, informed decisions are foremost.
Ronald,
We tend to gravitate to that first person who befriends us at the school.
Annette,
Regulations provide the starting point for operations. It takes integrity and ethics to carry it forward.
Walter,
The rules protect everyone involved and keeps us compliant.
Shaun,
The rules also protect both the student and the institution.
Since the Florida Commission for Independent Education is invoved in the licensing of institutions that work in that state, it is important to follow the regulations in order that the institution's licensing can be maintained. Otherwise the institution will not be able to enroll students there.
The CIE requirements are a guideline to follow with the guidelines for admissions set forth by the accreditation bodies and other regulatory bodies. You must follow these guidelines is a and there is not room for misrepresentation or non compliance.
Admission Representives must not imply or guarantee specific outcomes, job placement, or salaries. It is best practice to arm your prosepective students with the tools to seek out this information and do their own research. I do find that BLS provides excellent information by region, salary, and job outlook.
to be sure that I adhere to the guidelines and rules to not only make me a better admission representative but to insure I take care of my students.
It is important that we do not talk about salaries to the prospective student, we need to refer them to the Dep't of Labor & Statistics website, or someone they might know who is currently working in that career field.
The Commison for Independent Education affects how I perform my job as an admissions representative by helping to produce structured educational system and educate us about policies that include consumer protection, program improvement, institutional policies and administration, data management, and the licensure of independent schools, colleges and universities.
It makes you think about offering information that may be false or not the correct infoamtion. You think more when you are speaking to students about staying in the guidelines and never answering anything that you are not qualified for.
It's important to stay knowledgable and up to date with any changes with regards to licensing, accredidation, etc. to our institution to best serve our students.
The commission for independent education requirements regulate how I am able to do my job as an admissions representative. These regulations are independant from accreditation requirements but are just as important to follow in order to be in compliance with all regulatory bodies.
I suggest to prospective students that they check with someone who works in the particular field that they want to study, and ask them what the potential salaries are. I also suggest that they ask that person what they like about their job.
It protects the school and the student. It is important to be on top of our rules and regulations.
I agree, and in addition, as we do what we are required to do, and go above and beyond in the way we treat our students, treating them the way we would want to be treated, we build our institution's reputation, and determine the future success of the institution.
They increase the cost of doing business while providing little to no benefit to the student.
I make sure that I do not mention anything about earning potential. I give all of my students homework to go to the BLS.gov so that they can see jobs and pay potential.
