I like to go over each section of the Enrollment Agreement to make sure that the student has a clear understanding of what they are signing. That does provoke questions which I welcome.
Having working in higher education for 14 years, I have found very few students actually ask questions about the enrollment agree. Very often it is like someone buying a home or an automobile, where do I sign? The two primary questions are, in order, what majors do you offer? Then, do you have financial aid? Unfortunately, in the past five years, I have observed the shift, where the first question if often, do you have financial aid?

In my previous role as an enrollment advisor, I think that many students do not in fact ask the questions needed to truly understand the impact of admissions and finanical obligation. I made it a point to encourage the student to read the information in the paperwork. So many times we have students that like to just sign on the dotted line and not read the material.
It has not been my experience that students ask many questions about the enrollment agreement. Most of the points in the enrollment agreement are covered in our recruitment interview.
I am a new rep and from what I have seen students do not ask many questions about the admission process. The reps that I have observed go into detail about the admission process.
Although I meetwith some students, my primary purpose is to develop relationships with company owners, fire chiefs, and government officials. I rarely visit with prospective students. However, when I do meet with them, they are very interestedin costs.
i agree i believe the correct information is stated or given and in depth so follow guidelines as an agent or admissions representative
Absolutely. I think it's important to have all policies, fees, and disclosures available at all times.
When looking at enrollment agreements I will make sure that all my students review them before they sign the form. I want to make sure they understand what they are signing so there are no surprises later.
I think it is my job to cover all bases so they do not need to. However, I need to be prepared if any arise.
I do not, I find with our outline to present the information about our school gives the student much confidence they typically found they found out more than what they expected.
Hello
The amount of questions asked generally depends on the quality of the presentation and the engagement of the student in the process. If the student has been engaged they will freely open up and inquire about the program.
In regards to the enrollment agreement I explain thoroughly about it all so they have a clear understanding so typically they do not ask questions.
I find that students on many occassions would be quick to sign without questioning in detail. I am sure to go over things that I know they may question later if there is a problem. The students and parents do ask, and if not it is discussed completely, about placement rates and graduation rates. They always ask about tuition and fees as well. They often don't think about things like refund policies and the like because their intention at the time is to complete the program.
Our enrollment agreement is very clear and crisp. If the students do have questions our enrollment agreement explains in detail and is a helpful tool to answer their questions.
I haven't gotten that far in the process with any of my students as of yet. However once I do reach that point I feel like the information is provided in a neat concise manner that is fairly easy to understand.
It depends on the student. Some students sign the enrollment agreements with little to no questions. Others have questions every step of the way. I usually walk the student through the enrollment process just in case they have questions regarding the enrollment agreement.
Yes I did.. I kept referring back to my Financial partner.
