FERPA

Knowledge with an attitude

Knowledge is great but having a great attitude and approachable verbiage will help you express what you know and what you think you don't know.  Is this a great way to attract students?

Book vendor

Learning about the appropriate response for the book vendor who stated that our school was "the best" was interesting.  Was anyone else surprised by that?

What I have learned

I appreciate learning the ways the different reporting requirements compare and contrast with each other. Sexual violence is so under reported anyways, I appreciate the annual reports required of colleges.

I have learnt the Importance of acknowledging students with disabilities, and how to work with them to assist them in achieving favorable outcomes.

Social Media

Great information, students will go to social media when unhappy. 

Admissions

Its amazing how much an admission representatives know, not only about a particular program but the triad as well. I have heard some of the representatives speak with prospective students, about the program I teach (dental assisting) and they do a fantastic job!   

Can an instructor learn from others while teaching

I believe that an instructor can not only learn from other instructors, but from student as well. When you have done your very best teach someone, listen and watch your student more closely. They can be very creative, even though you may have taught the skill, and the student didn't perform it just like your demonstration, the same result was achieved. (Doctors aren't all the same either). Other classmates can learn as well.

The admissions process

I would love to see how the admissions process works start to finish. There have been times when I interviewed a potential nursing student and did not think they would be a good candidate for the program, but they were admitted anyway. Does anyone have any insight into how thew process works?

BOM--Compliance

In terms of building trust, my department carries a very high level of integrity in safeguarding private information.

Documentation is so important for all students. Making sure everyone understands what is and is not appropriate documentation will garner consistancy through the entire acadenic experience.

Staying up to date with Policy

It's important to understand the policy and the compliance while working for an University. Workers should follow regulations and also focus on using correct verbiage in their roles. 

Who is required to compelte the training

I learned that any indivudal who functions as a recruiter, admissions representative, director, admissions agent, is required to comlete the training. 

Providing solutions

It is essential that the enrollment provides the necessary resources to students during their time. Having orientation, career services, and counseling available to students can be instrumental in their success once enrolled.

Important documentation

Documentation is vital in the process of enrollment for all students no matter if they interview and don't attend or if they decide to enroll. Making sure everyone is on the same page of documentation and where to keep said documentation will make sure we stay organized and consistent through the entire enrollment experience.

Staying up to date

Working in enrollment it is very important to make sure we are up to date on the policies and regulation affecting our roles in the University, the students we serve, and the overall world of education admissions. This course reminded me of policies I already knew as all as refreshed me on the rules and definitions of our field.

Enrollment and Admissions

In the ever changing landscape of higher education, it's important to stay on top of the latest regulations and requirements to best serve your students. This course has helped me refresh my knowledge.

Prerequisites for entering a clinical program

Students who have already done basic sciences courses in high school and then do an additional 2 years of allied health programs such as MA/X-ray tech/EMT/LVN/Pharmacy tech/EKG monitoring- perform much better in the advanced CVS/DMS programs. After passing the school's exams, students must take the national board registry exams from ARDMS & CCI to get hired in a hospital or clinic. Some schools just focus on the ability of a student to qualify for financial aid and enroll in these high-end programs and forget that the long-term goal of these students is to pass the tough registry exam and get hired. We must choose the right candidate for the right program.  

FERPA

I learned that in certain situations personal information of the students will have to be shared with authorities.
