Our students take a Wonderlic before enrollment
Problems with math seems to be the biggest reason our students drop out, so we identify any problems before they start, and try to correct it. Since our program involves a lot of hands-on training, students usually know if they like this kind of work, either through past schooling or experience.
We have always had adequate admission requirement, 90/10 did not effect that. What 90/10 did change for my institution is the student contact. We have better relationships with our students because we want to be sure we are able to help them reach their goals.
Admissions alone is not going to improve the graduation and placement rates... Everyone has to get involved.
We have all student complete an orientation before they can inter class to ursure they are ready to start classes. We also make sure that their computers are set up for our online classes.
At the present time we feel our program is suffient to provide students, with receiving a certificate the best opportunity for job placement
Someone below already posted this, but asking those 'probing questions". When a student discovers what they want in life, what they have a passion for, they will work that much harder to reach their goals.
Our admissions qualifications are very thorough, and have many layers.
I have noticed that with the mandatory Online Student Preparation our students seem more informed in starting and staying in class. I have noticed this even more with my late applicants.
We have a career services office that assists students with this information. Every student that I interview, I make sure I take them to their office so they receive the correct and up to date information on their specific program.
Yes, after new developments and revisions to our program offerings, our institution has implemented a new questionaire which allows for student feedback detailing the reason why they want to pursue our newer degree programs.
We have a requirement of HS diploma or GED. We verify that it is from an accredited college.
My institution, in regards to admission requirements, has adopted a conviction motto internally, "changing a students life one by one." We ask probing questions of students needs and what they hope to accomplish with their additional education. This modification puts the students interest first which allows for continued success.
we have career service department in place to assist student the job placement area and graduate and placement disclosure are provided as well for students
Many students are interested in a job in their field of study. Some are even willing to relocated; however my school has a career service department that has been set in place to assist the student with more accurate information with job placement, mock interviews and resume assistance.
