I've found that most students find the enrollment agreement to be just another form they have to fill out in order to get into a college. The onus then falls on the the admissions department representative to educate a potential student what each form they are completing means. By doing so, the student is not only better educated about the college admissions process, but has a better understand of the importance of the step their taking by going to college.
No, not really. I believe the enrollment agreement explains everything in great detail for the student and eases any anxiety they might have.
I agree. My students'questions are more about what they will have to do as students, money, time, availability of instructors. I go over the enrollment agreement with them, then give them time to reread it themselves and ask questions before signing. Few ask any questions.
The enrollment agreement is the document most students ask questions about. They think once they have completed an "agreement" they are bound to the school. We simply remind them this is for the students records to show what their tuition cost will be in the future event tuition is changed they will be charged the cost on "their" enrollment agreeement.
No, students dont usually ask questions outright. I feel that I always have to prompt their questions to get them to speak on important topics, I attribute this mainly to students not having ant exposure or experience with higher education.
Not many students ask questions, but we explain the whole page to them.
I don’t have students asking a great deal of questions regarding the Enrollment Agreement. Mostly they like to see how the total charges are broken down and refund policies. I have some that read in great detail and others that take a quick look. I think most spend time reading the agreement in detail later within their 5 day cancellation period.
Not typically, however our staff is trained to explain the schools enrollment agreement prior to them signing it. This allows the prospective to feel more relaxed about asking any questions about the enrollment agreement, because we are already covering it. I find that if is not talked about in detail they for some reason are less likely to ask more in depth questions because they are afraid that the questions are silly! From prior experience I tell prospective students "A silly question is a question not asked". It might be Corney, however it breaks the ice!!
No, generally I explain all the items and where the info comes from. I do ask them if they have any questions, but usually they do not.
I do not get many questions at all about information containted in our Enrollment Agreement. If I didn't take the time to go over the line items of each section of our agreement, the student would probably not have any idea what they were signing.
I notice that they pay attention only to the total cost, the class dates, and will ocassionaly ask about our policy on refunds and/or withdraws. I think students just become anxious about starting school again, and don't take time to go over details. This is why I feel it's extremely important to make the time to explain all of the paperwork and content prior to the enrollment.
We thoroughly cover all of the agreement to make sure that our student understands clearly the value in the training and what we do and don't do.
No, most students do not ask questions and that is why it is very important you go over everything asking if they have any questions.
no not really, the enrollment agreement is explained to them in detail
No, I find that they do not ask questions, so I always go over the entire enrollment agreement with each prosepctive student/parent. Sometimes this will prompt questions from the applicant.
I am a new admisiions rep still in the training process. However, when listening to my fellow admissions reps during the enrollment process i rarely hear questions asked about the enrollment agreement.
I also agree that this is a great idea. I think that this process would ensure that everyone, including the representative are comfortable with the enrollment agreement and any questions could be answered. When I am covering the enrollment agreement, I typically focus on the most important areas, the areas that could cause confusion for the student, such as the percentage of tuition that student would be responsible for if they should withdraw during a quarter. College is expensive, it is an investmenet and students and parents should always leave the meeting feeling confident about the papers that they have just signed. It is extremely important to me that students and parents always feel like they can not only trust the college but also me.
Generally students do not ask many questions about the enrollment agreement. It is our obligation to ensure the student feels open to ask questions and to point out key areas that affect their finances.
No students don't ussally asked me questions about policies and statements in the enrollment agreement. They either just sign it, or some of them will read before they sign it.
I agree with the other answers. Most students don't ask a lot of questions. It is an exciting and scary time for the student. I firmly believe it is the admission representative's duty to fully explain everything. Make sure the student and buying committee fully understand and congratulate them on their decision to obtain and education, achieve thier dreams, and improve their future.
