I learned that transfer of credits cannot be guaranteed since acceptance of another school’s credits is completely up to the receiving institution.

A checklist to gather and update documents is useful for the task of staying current

I have learned that each university can select its own marketing strategy. The most important thing is when using a marketing strategy is follow Fair Consumer Practices.

I learned that the enrollment agreement must be completed in full with a signed copy placed in the student’s folder, and a signed copy given to the new student.

I learned that I can use the institution catalog as a guideline to provide some information about tuition assistance. 

It is very useful to create a Notebook with all the information needed to be an aware and informed admissions Agent. It is possible (and it is suggested) adding information to it on a regular basis.

I learned that an admissions employee cannot offer bonuses, discounts, or similar thing to induce an applicant to enroll.

A new term form is Enrollment Agreement, this is a kind of contract which contains the agreement to terms of enrollment.

I have learned important things related with Admissions role. First of all, this is a role based on statutes, rules, and regulations that are subject to change. It is important to update the reference materials and/or resource notebook.

Second, I didn't know that the Agent license is effective for one year and is not transferable. For this reason, the Agent license must be renewed each year. I already know that I have to renew my license next 2026.

If  we provide adequate assistance to the students, they could learn to overcome obstacles and build problem-solving strategies. It will be valuable as in their personal as and professional life.

Comment on Dr. Jamie McKinney's post: Perhaps due to their immaturity, in the most of cases, students don´t talk about their problems and when they do it when it is not possible to solve it. For this reason, professors, who are near of the students, and can have contact with them, must be able to encourage them to express their difficulties and help them to find a solution.
