Physical Notebook or Electronic? Which Format?

J., Many school associates prefer the physical notebook to the electronic version. It allows them to feel something that is tangible and it allows them to provide a document to the accreditors. Cindy Bryant

Catalog Requirements

Mary, Hi! Welcome to the forum. Using your catalog is a great way method for delivering training. It allows the trainers to send a consistent message that is compliant with the standards and regulatory environment of the institution and the catalog can be utilized as a reference guide as needed.

Limitations

Sonny, Thank you for asking these important questions. The word small is relative in comparison to other class sizes as you mentioned. My interpretation would be that "small classes" would be any number under the state mandated class size. Anyone else have any ideas? Cindy Bryant

Providing Disclosures

Alan, I have not been aware of students that were forced to accept funds that exceeded the cost of their education but I have known students to request stipends against their FA Adviser's better judgement. Cindy Bryant
