Great point. Not only do I keep my resource notebook but my flash drive has everything on it as well in an organized fashion. It is easy for me to get to and small enough to travel with. I think it is important to also have these documents organized electronically.
I agree. It is a great way to have all of the rule and regilations, and it is easy to take the paper out once the new rule or regulation has been updated!
I am looking forward to using my Resource Notebook because it will keep me up to date with policies and procedures and to stay compliant.
In my resource notebook I have placed the Agents/Admissions Reps Regulatory Laws/Rules, enrollment agreements, my colleges welcome papers, our school information packet which includes, entrance requirements, our programs we offer and information about financial aid. You will also find in my notebook our courses we offer and their descriptions, student newsletters, school catalog, my job descriptions etc. I believe that this notebook will be very helpful and has already helped me professionally.
When I was hired as an admissions representative, my supervisor presented me with a Resource Notebook which has catalogs, guidelines, schedules for our other admissions representatives, specific information on our programs as well as tuition and fees. She continuosly provides me with the most updated information so that I can stay current on the information I am providing to prospective students.
I have placed a copy of the Ohio State laws and regulations in my resource notebook along with printed information about our school. This has given me a quick resource at my fingertips. By keeping it current and neet it is usable in the processes of informing prospective students about opportunities we can offer. Organization is always an asset.
I have put in my Resource Notebook Terms and Definitions, Creating and using a resource notebook. That was a great idea to make a notebook as a reference guide.
Creating my Resource Notebook has given me a physical reminder to upload the rules and regulations updates monthly!
I agree there is so much information with new companies and programs. As with the industry I am employed in. There is a great deal of information and constant changes taking place the resource notebook is an excellent professional tool.
I have placed the available information from the company into my resoruce notebook. I found some vital information from the Module that I will also add. I am new to the company and have found some information may take several layers of people to get to the meat of the matter. Overall the resource notebook is very beneficial.
Creating a notebook is a great thing to have in place. The largest issue is making sure you keep it up to date so that you do not have outdated info; that you may pass along on accident.
Jackie,
The rules and regulations are the same for all colleges in Ohio that are under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools.
A resource notebook is a great idea at hand. I found that state regulation and laws are constantly changing so I try to keep my notebook updated with information in regards to regulations. Staying in compliance is so critical to our schools and position. Also a great add in is the schools catalog and guidelines which will allow you to have a great reference tool.
I really liked the idea of the Resource Notebook, this is a clear and defined way to stay current with admissions best practices. I really believe having a tool as this will bring better efficiency and accuracy to the department. I really look forward to putting this together with our catalog, enrollment agreements, marketing tools, policies and procedures and all the other rules and regulations needed. I know my department will work better knowing they have this easily accessible. Great Idea!
In my resource notebook, I have all of the presentations that my school has had and went over. I also have a bunch of compliance issues as well so that I'm not saying anything that I'm not supposed to. And if a student asks about anything that I might not be able to answer, all I have to do is look at that notebook, and it has most of the issues covered.
Yes, I agree with this statement. There is a lot of important information to remember that is critical to our success. Therefore, it seems vital that we have access to this information at all times. You are also to set it up in the way that makes most sense to you.
What other information have you added to your notebook?
Compliance issues are always important. Rules and regulations can change so rapidly this is one way of staying current with changes.
Same here. When we have meetings and I type the minutes the resource notebook helps with keeping me organized.
Being up to date with compliance is important. I also find that using a Resource Notebook has helped tremendously.
