Get Your Students Hired
Hello my name is Lisa and I have been in the world of admissions for 8 years now and have seen many changes over the years. I do feel that keeping a binder is critical to staying up to day with any and all law changes to ensure that you stay compliant for yourself, your organization and your student.
Michelle,
If you were in this role, in another college under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools, an agent permit would have been required.

I definitely see the need for keeping a binder and updating it periodically with new information. I like to be organized and having a paper copy of all the rules and regulations will help me quickly review the information whenever I have a few minutes of down time. I think this will help in making sure that I am conveying the correct updated information to prospective students.
This is all very new to me. I did not need an agent license in my previous role at another college. We received constant training internally, but did not need a certificate issued by the state. Could it be because it is governed by a different accrediting body?
There are alot of things that one must keep readily available as a veteran rep., so that yo can be proactive at all times, you must be able to guide someone in the right direction, or point somethings out for others to see so keep a binder with all pertinent information so you can be a resourse from others.
As a new admissions rep, I agree with the need to keep a binder. I have never done anything like this before, and there are an amazing amount of laws regarding admissions.
What you are saying makes alot of sense. I like to stay organized and that definitely helps.
I am in complete agreement. There is SO much information required for this position.
I also agree! This is my second day on the job and I had no idea just how much information was required to successfully do this job. I prefer hard copies of information, so the binder is a great way to keep it organized and easily accessible.
I agree,full hardheartedly. I have always kept binders with crucial information at my desk with in arms length.
I would rather take the time to look up a topic and correctly answer any questions or review any venues, than to incorrectly comment on the the subject what ever it may be that to say what I "think" the answer maybe.
Rule of thumb, it is not always crucial to know all the answers but it is important to have the resources to find the correct answers...
i.e. the binder.
As a new admissions representative, I am definitely on board with keeping a binder. There is a lot of information and it seems things are constantly changing. I plan on keeping it handy.
