Mary,
Having the students sign the check list, provides an opportunity for them to be an active partner in completing the packet. Often times we complete the packet have a checklist and the student is not involved. This ensures that they understand what they are signing and what needs to be completed.

Mary,

My resource notebook is a tool I use to be organize. It contains vital information that I need to better assist my students. To name a few, mission statement, catalog, student handbook and even personal notes.
Most of the information given I have put in my resource notbook. I feel that this will be a great asset for me.
I agree that a reference notebook will be a great reference tool. However, with my institute practicing green practices how effective is it to print every document and catalog it in the notebook verse reviewing it online?
Enrollment Agreement: a legally binding contract signed by applicants to licensed institutions as well as to personnel at the institution. Florida Administrative code: The rules that have been developed to implement Chapter 1005, Florida Statutes. Marketing:A general term that refers to an overall aproach to promoting your school and its programs including creating, distributing, pricing, and promoting goods, services, and ideas. Enrollment: Registering a student to take programs of courses at an institution when such registration obligates a student to pay tuition to the institution and obligates the institution to provide instruction to the student.
In my previous job, I set up a similar book and it was a constant go-to reference for not only myself, but anyone who covered my job due to vacations, etc. As long as you keep it current, it becomes an excellent resource which everyone should have at their desk.
Admissions audit- a form we use as a checklist- a go-to, one pager with all of the the requirements listed and financial information at a glance.
Financial Planning- a meeting we have with each prospective student to gauge whether we can accept them with the understanding that it's a financially responsible decision.
Interview Appointment- in this meeting we go over policy stuff, make sure all the student's materials have been submitted, make sure all financials are in order, and clear up any last minute questions.
The Resource Notebook is a great reference tool to make sure you are providing accurate information at all times. As an Admissions Rep I get questions all of the time, and sometimes they are about subjects I’m not as familiar with (especially information that may vary by state). By using my Resource Notebook and keeping it up-to-date I can ensure I am communicating appropriately and maintaining the credibility of my learning institute.
At Florida HVAC Tech, we commonly discuss how we're in the process of becoming accredited. Our advertising and marketing materials explain a basic overview of the program offered at the school and what our overall goal is for our students. We also include the enrollment agreement, that we are headquartered in Cocoa Beach, and that we're in the process of offering scholarships to students.
It's great for update any new regulation

Keli,
Class hours and class-size are important factors in the student's decision to enroll. Many students prefer schools that have a lower student to instructor ratio with a schedule that can work with their life's obligations.

Melissa,
Excellent! Definitions are necessary in explaining the rules and regulations of the enrollment.
Patty Aronoff
Samantha,
It is great that you were going over the financial responsibility. As a student they are financially responsible for the payment of tuition.

LeighAnne,
Going through the accreditation process is exhaustive and expensive. The results of accreditation put a stamp of approval by the US DOE. It also allows you to be able to disburse title for money.
Patty Aronoff
Jana,
Even though a student signs enrollment papers, enrollment does not take effect until the student actually begins classes.
Patty Aronoff
Keli,
When you are organized, you can remain focused and on target. It gives confidence in the ability to research any question comes up.

Yomara,
It is a great asset in our jobs. Continue to add additional material that will assist you in answering questions or providing information to your prospective students.
