One suggestion is to go over each area with the enrollin g student and have them initial next to the paragraph. That way you both know that the information has been given and received. Full discloure is essential, but so is complete understanding.
I think the enrollment agreement is a good way to inform students. They don't seem to have many questions after competion of the enrollment agreement.
Yes, it is understandable that students have questions about the enrollment agreement. That is why we give them all the time they need to read it and ask questions. Once they are comfortable, then we continue on.
I find that by covering the enrollment agreement with the student, you answer most of the questions that would be asked.
Yes they do and parents that attend an appointment with their student/son or daughter ask a lot of questions.
It does make the process easier. Being able to refer to the enrollment agreement tends to put the student more at ease.
Yes, most of the time a student will have multiple wuestions that can be answered with the catolog or enrollment agreement.
One should be prepared to answer any enrollment question that may arise.
Most do. I feel that when the student is asking questions they are truly involved in the process and it indicates to me that they are understanding. If they do not ask questions I ask them to ask something to get them started and talking.
Prior to the signing of the Enrollment Agreement, many of my students will reask or go back over questions that they originally asked, concerning enrollment. Most of them are merely making sure that they have understood the answers given clearly and correctly.
Yes, students ask questions but it is their full rigt to know and the school should disclose all of the information pertaining to students. There should be no suprises for prospective students.
I have seen that students feel enrollment agreements are contracts. Even though we tell them they are not contracts, they still feel like they signing a binding contract. Now, we have all the information presented to students on our enrollment document, and no fine print by any means.
I find that most students don't really have a lot of questions about the enrollment agreement, but I do go over it during the enrollment process
For the most part, not really. The financial aid information is where the student tends to have the most questions that were not answered during the tour or initial interview. The actual number is what stands out in a students mind.
I usually find that students are so excited to be going to school that they just want to make sure the basics of tuition and method of payment are in order and reasonable. At times it seems it is almost neccesary to put the brakes on and make sure they realize what they are getting into. Education is DEFINITELY not a place for "buyers remorse."
Good point.
A good interview can help weed out many concerns and the students who are not a good match.
I think that students have the most questions about how the financial aid is going to work. We have students speak with financial aid advisors to go over in detail those items. I think the enrollment agreement works because a student cannot come back and argue that they did not know how much the tuition would be or how much the withdraw fees would be.

Covering the details of the students enrollment agreement is important in that it gives the student a clear picture of what they are signing and what they are agreeing to as far as their overall Program.
