What are some of the terms and definitions commonly used during the admission process at your institution?

Is it through advertising, career fairs, consortiums or lead generating companies?

It is important to keep up with the industries for which your institution's programs train. You can locate this information in your local newspaper, business publications, the news and the internet.

Networking is an important part of your position. There are certain people you should be networking with on a regular basis. These include the Director of Education and the Placement Director. Both of these people have valuable information about the institution that you can include in your discussions with prospective students. They will help you keep current about the details of the programs that are offered and the services that are provided. The Placement Department can provide you with information about where students get jobs, what they are doing, and their successes. Always remember that applicants attend your institution primarily with the goal of training for a new career and getting a job. Involve your placement personnel in the admissions process as much as possible. Career Services can help provide the most current job market information to educate applicants about the career they are applying for. Make sure you are networking with the right people to be informative for students with the current information.

It is important that you ask for the marketing plans for each month. Then you will have samples of all types of marketing. These materials should be added to your notebook to keep current.

The institution catalog and enrollment agreement are among the documents that have been approved by the Florida Commission for Independent Education and they must follow the Fair Consumer Practices Statutes and Rules. Therefore the admissions requirements should be complete, consistent, and appropriate for the programs you offer.

I have been working in this field for over 12 years and find that now creating a resource notebook will round out my total knowledge of licensure and the organization as a whole. What a wonderful tool to keep at close hand for immediate reference and guidance.

The Resource book can be beneficial to have all inportant information handy and organized in an easily accessable manor. It will be ideal to have that information accessable in the instance of absence to help guide others in need of answers. It is a great tool and resource to possess.

For me, it was interesting to learn that my interactions with prospective students are governed not only by the university, but also the accrediting body of the school, as well as the Florida Department of Independent Education. This was certainly an unforeseen epiphany as the university is based on the west coast and, although offering seminar-style classes in Florida and the Southeast region, has no brick and mortar buildings outside of the Northwest. As one seeking completion of this certification to become an agent, I now have a much greater understanding of the breadth of regulations and statutes which I must be aware of and operate within. The need for maintaining an up-to-date notebook of adequate resources pertaining to multiple facets of the university, appears to without a doubt be an essential component of the Agent "toolbox".

I'm glad that the topics covered discussed having or creating your own resource notebook I found that to be very effective when becoming an organized agent for my instituion. Thank you for pointing that out. As for now I have no questions.

My institution stores students' records electronically. Enrollment agreements, certificates of completion, tuition payments - everything is scanned and stored in a CRM database, searchable by program or name of student. We even store relevant notes about when we spoke to the student, what course they are enrolling in next, etc. Our school administration has access to these files, and we find it streamlines sharing or updating information. Do we also need to keep paper files for our students?

While I am very well aware of teh requirements I must meet. Again this course has reminded me of how important it is to stay current and informed on any new policies or changes in my institution.

Even when we are not required to know everything about the financial aid programs, scholarships and loans, I believe it is our duty as agents to provide all the information, assistance and help to the prospect, so they are able to do the right thing when applying for it. In other words, it is our responsibility to assure that our prospects are correctly informed and have all the help they need from us.

This course was a a great knowledge for me and I'm sure this will be very productive for my professional career.

My plan is keep all this information up dated in my binder to refresh monthly. Also have couple flash cards near to my desk with all the information needed.

Why is an Agent license required to be renewed each year and non-transferable?

I wasn't aware of all the requirements that were expected to be an agent. This coarse was very informative! I learned a whole lot from this coarse. Thank you for offering this coarse for us all to learn.

the Agents requirements are more than what i initially expected. although it is a reglatory process there is so much effort that needs to go into the agents position to make sure you are providing an effective service. the rules and regulations ensure that the consumer and the institutions meet standards. these make sure that everybody is in agreeance with not only the process of enrolling but the expectations during and after, what an honor to be so important in an industry such as this.

i believe that so far i am knowlegable on the products and knowledge of my institution. i keep up to date, by making sure that we hold regular meetings and updating files and documents; also any new changes in programs or policy's that change on a daily/ weekly and yearly basis. this is important to me and my company as product knowledge is the key to all elements of education.
