Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Students best interest

When interviewing a prospect it is best practice to ask them  about their any previous education and what they are looking for in a college to be successful.   

Refreshers are necessary

I still continue to find useful information on these CEU modules. Even after 10 years in higher education there are still things you can learn through maxknowledge.

Dept of Education

Is the Dept of Education's approval goes hand in hand with institutional accreditation?

Advisory Committee

I feel this is one of the best assets for a specialized technical programs.  This allows the program directors to keep their finger on the pulse of the field they teach/manage by interacting with people who are actively working in that field.  This input is absolutely invaluable.

Agent Permit

I have always felt other departments should be exposed to the agent permit so they have a better understanding of the admissions processes and regulations.

Different Regulations By State

I feel regulations that guide our education systems should be more consistent and completed on a national level instead of the state level.  This inconsistency causes schools to shy away from credits transferring.  Assuming class material is similar and the credits are equal or greater, this should never be a subjective decision.

Accreditation

Hypothetical question:

 

Nursing programs are approved by Ohio Board of NUrsing. The same institution is accredited by ACCSC. If ACCSC close an institution would that close the nursing program too?

Accreditation requirements

Very informatitve to learn how involved a process and that credits will not always transfer and the reasons behind it.

Where is the best place to list this?

Is it ethically required to deny enrollment or not?

As an admission representative you may have a gut feeling someone may not be a successful student. Is it ethically required to deny enrollment or not?

That is a loaded question. We are trying to make assumptions based upon information that has been made available to us or assumptions based upon our own assumptions or prejudices. We need to be very careful when engaging in this disucssion with an individual. Our approach is to offer the individual who is on the fence a no-risk try-before-you-buy with a safety net.

Our school does not require an individual to have a high school diploma or GED prior to enrollment. As a result, we have to explain and demonstrate, in considerable detail the curriculum utilized as well as the expected outcomes. The purpose of the discussion is to allow the individual to take ownership of the question of his or her ability and preparedness. 

We also remind the individual, per our refund policy that the school offers a first week opt-out period with no financial penalty. The opt-out week provides the opportunity for the indivual to "test drive" the course to determine whether or not he or she feels confident to continue. Again, we desire the individual to take owneship of that decision. 

The outcomes have been two-fold. Few individuals decide to quit. Many more figure out that their abilities far exceed even their own expectations. They satisfactorily complete training and move on to successful careers. That is a win-win situation.

accreditation

Why is accreditation importnt

Knowledge is Power

For someone who hasnt been involved in Institutions of higher learning, this is a great way to understand the rules of road.

Schools

What type of accredidation does your school have?

Ohio regional accreditation

what are the regional accrediting bodies for ohio?

Enjoyable

The production quality was very good!

Answers are wrong on the test.

Who do i contact if the answer to question on the test are incorrect.

Career Fairs

The information in the course is very clear and concise. Are there any specifications on schools that host careers and the activities that may occur with regards to job offers for potential grads? For example, if a school invites a company to come to a career fair and guarantees job offerings for selected students. Does this scenario pose a violation in any way?

Student Enrollment for Online Students

Are the students that enroll in a school's online program required to view the campus and available equipment as part of the enrollment process?

The Ohio Training-

The Training was very informative and I took a lot from it. It's best to always be ethical. We always win the best connections when doing so.

Ethics

If you have a gut feeling someone may not be able to benefit from your training, you have an ethical responsibility not to enroll them, maybe suggest an alternative plan.
