I believe a professional in any industry, can generate a long list of what compliance means to them. Most people have a negative perception of anyone working in compliance. I have had people ask me what I do, once I make them aware I am a compliance manager. They either say I am the police or shake their finger at me like I've been bad or up to something that will disrupts everyone's day. It's so funny to image me as the sheriff in town. 

People can assume you are an enforcer, with a type a personality and suffer from some level of obsessive-compulsive disorder. When actually our keen eye to detail can catch an error that could potentially cost the company: time, money or a reputation. We are the "t" crossers and the "i" dotters. We make sure that we minimize risk at every turn. I guess you can add heroes to that list as well. 

Compliance can be broad but you definitely have to be able to read and comprehend contracts/agreements, be organized, a little meticulous, a team player and an effective communicator. What other things do you think is essential as it pertains to compliance? 

It is very important to make sure that you include all requested supporting documents for new or existing programs seeking changes.The CSC has a timeline to which all material must be received in order for the application to be processed.

If anyone has found a website or source covering CCS updates, please contact me or post

I hope this question is okay to ask.  If anyone has any advice, resources, books, websites that help in the understaning of Admissions Compliance for Texas, please share if you can. Thank you!

Can you clarify the statement for me for our school? If I am reading the highlighted correctly, the (10) day attendance rule no longer applies to students after they have past the point of a refund? Am I right to assume that schools no longer need to drop a student based to attendance after they are past the point of a refund? The last term of our Medical Assistant program has an externship/internship component that extends past the point where a refund is due (generally after the first week of externship has been completed by student). At times we have had student's that need to be reassigned to another site. Sometimes, reassignment takes more than 10 days to find students a new site. My question is, once the student is past the point of a refund is due, do we still need to apply by the (10) day attendance rule if the student's placement extends past 10 days?  Assuming there is a no good cause for an LOA (Medical/Death).   

I am opening my first cosmetology/esthetics/nail tech/massage school and it will be opening in Texas. I am a novice and need some help. I see on here that Admissions must be in the guidelines of the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), Career Schools and Colleges. However, I believe I must also do the admission requirements of Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Must I understand the Laws and Rules under both agencies and get myself informed with a attorney? Is there another person who can guide me to make sure I understand each section? Is there certain important documents I should see? 

Anything is helpful and thank you in advance for your support!

With smaller schools in mind, does a designee need to register as a representative if they in the absence of a school director, the designee is meeting with presepective students and approving enrollment contracts?

For the question. " In what instances is an existing school required to submit applications for additional courses of instruction or for course revisions to CSC for approval?  Select all that apply."  The only answer that fits is the one reguarding two substantial complaints regarding programs in the previous year, after reviewing section 807.5 Exemptions or page 9 of the pdf link provided at the top of the quiz, yet I got this counted against me.  Does anyone know why?  Or is this just a known trick question.

Thanks!

If a representative heard someone at restaraunt or store talking about being recently laid off, could that representative offer their business card to the laid off individual, or would that fall into unallowed?
