I have printed the law/rules and regulations to put into mu recource notebook. I have learned that in the state of OH agents must be registrared with the state by completing the permit form and this training.
I have included all of the current rules and regulations for the state of Ohio in my Resource Notebook. It was interesting to discover that it is the number of owners an agent works for determines whether or not the agent needs multiply permits.
I always keep my high schools' rules and regulations' as well as the countys' regulations in my Resource Notebook. I also keep my institute's guidelines, bylaws, etc. handy with me, as well as information for Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
I have been so impressed with my school's training thus far. This is my third day here (and in this industry) and I'm just absorbing it all like a sponge. I'm very lucky to be starting with a company who takes the time to instill best practices in its employees from day one. So far, the most prized document I have added to my resource book is "the script," which provides me with an outline of topics that need to be presented to the prospective student. I didn't realize that certain states would require licensing to recruit students, but I am enjoying the opportunity to learn more about the position and industry. These forums are helpful, too!
All of the issues and compliance concerning Financial Aid, and the rules that go along with that.
I found this to be very helpful in being more organized.
In my Resource Notebook I have included everything that was suggested via the board and also included marketing materials of schools that have similar programs.
I've placed in my notebook the laws and regulations for myself to be aware of in Ohio. I've also added our catalog and enrollment agreement. I was unaware of the differences between an advisor and an agent.
Keeping a resource notebook is something that is critical in order to stay up to date on compliance factors. A few key pieces to have are such documents as role defining, accredidation, and policies. In addition to previous mentioned state items, some other good things to have are school specific items. These can include course catalog, enrollment agreements, course descriptions, etc.
All the training materials I have gathered so far. I really didn't learn anything new about my organization. That's a good thing because I have been with my institution for almost three years.
The documents associated with this training as well as the documents I will be specifically using as I work with prospective students for my specific organization.
Our Resource Notebook is a very valuable tool and provides me with a reference for all school policies and procedures as well as a better understanding of compliance issues like attendance and placement. I have gained a great overview of my institution. The rules and regulations have definitely been reinforced.
Information that I have in my Resource Notebook are as followed: rules, laws, and forms. I have page dividers for each docuement. My notebooks is convenient and I can reference my documents quicker because they are organized. The Resource Notebook is a great guide. I didn't realize how much I would be using it. There is a lot of information in the notebook. It was important to me to take the notebook home and review courses.
I wasn't aware that the school catalog has to be reviewed by the state regulatory body. Also, I didn't know how in depth I had to know the accrediting body rules and regulations regarding admissions staffs and agents.
I have saved a lot of information for my resource notebook and I have even taken notes that I intend to discuss with my director next week in regards to student referrals who are already enrolled at another college. I occasionally have a student of mine call in and tell me about a friend of his/her that is unhappy with his/her current school and would like to have a conversation with me about my school. I did not know that referrals were regulated under Ohio law so I want to make sure that I am in compliance during those conversations.
Agreed! Using the the Resource Notebooks of the others here in admissions has been a huge help in making the adjustments and having a "go to" location.
In the resource book includes, marketing materials, program materials, and organizational chart. Product knowledge forms are available online on our website.
In my resource notebook I have placedimportant links to sites that have information regarding rules and regulations for our institution. Among some of them include an organizational chart, the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools website, rules and regulations, and other important information. While I was familiar with a lot of the dos and donts of being an enrollment advisor for my institution, I think the biggest thing that I have learned and been able to take from this course is the Resource Notebook and having all necessary information handy any time I may need. This way everything is in one place and I'm not fishing all over the place for resources or important information.
I feel that this is a great way to make sure that you have everything current with your school. It would make a great referral book to make sure that you have everything you need to complete a student's enrollment.
At first glance i thought the notebook was unneccesary however, after putting mine together i have become much more organized. It has helped me significantly. File Folders are extremely important.
When I was first reading about the notebook and I saw the first little question about whether you will need file folders, I laughed, but as I moved on I really did need more organization to keep all of my rules and regs together. Thanks for that little hint!
