I defintely believe this course maximixes a school's performance for everyone involved. Your potential students and  your success of your school comes back to intregrity, honesty, and confidence. You are succesfuly when everyone around you is successful. It creates word of mouth and that is the best kind of marketing there is.

How do you handle when students come from a competive school and mention things that are definetly unethical. Wouldn't that be heresay?

I absolutely love my job, each days my goal is to learn from others and to apply it to my job. To be successful you have to accept that not every idea will be used, but it doesn't make them bad ideas. It is very easy to take things personel - I am guilty of that. But at the end of the day, take a step back and really listed to constructive criticism. It isn't an attack as you as a person. It is someone else trying to add value and hopefully they are thinking I love my job too.… >>>

I am glad this was a requirement to do this course. It was informative in many areas, and a refresher in many others.  I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned to my co-workers as well and learning all the facets of their job as well.

I thouroghly enjoyed taking the course. The different sections were easy to follow and I learned many new things from each section. I think the best thing I will take from this course is to be better organized with my information. I enjoyed participating in the forums and reading other suggestions on how they do things.

Discussion Comment
It is so important that we stay connected as a school. Having regulatory meetings is a great way to staying on top of things, to understand that even though their may be many departments in an organization, and may people have the attitude that's not my job, or why do I have to know that. Because if you are not successful in one department as a whole - your business will not be successful in all departments
Why can't the state board enforce that nothing negative comments are aloud to be posted on that cites webpage? Since post people use this information, sometimes in order to make a decision. Their website or program should be able to sell itself.
I keep going back to this, because it bothers me. I have personally called our competitors pretending I was a student, and they say we have all these relationships with other establishments, and we have none. I know we can't control what are competitor says, but at the same time, its not fair to our business, or to the potential enrollment that is getting this information
It is very difficult to get a specific number or percentage of graduates. We have graduates who move away, who decide to not pursue what they have come to learn about, who get hired that don't tell us. What or how is the best way to handle this? We want to be accurate, I understand that, but they are times we just don't know
