We always hate to see a student leave our school. When they come to us for their dreams, we expect them to graduate.

Marketing is probably the most expensive and critical part of getting the word out about your school. This is where personally developed leads are such an asset to have. They bring the credibility and they are free.

Letters of recommendation are usually drawn for the purpose of determining an outside opinion of the students dedication and desire to continue their education. Usually they are professional or previous instructors who write these letters.

The enrollment agreement along with the catalog constitute the contract between the student and the school. Both are very important documents. The information contained in each must be congruent.

The process is a determination of what is the right fit. Is the student a right fit for your school? Is the student a right fit for the program?

Students want to feel that they are much more then sign on the line. They feel that their relationship with admissions is an important one. They are also an avenue for personally developed leads which are critical to admissions.

I just started and have not gone through the complete admissions process yet. Thus far;
Enrollment; Enrolling an individual to take either the Auto/Diesel or truck driving training.This includes getting all of their perosnal information in the computer, a start date for classes and the financial terms determined.
Program; For us means, the different sections and the training of each section to pass the ASE certifications needed in both the Auto and Diesel Programs.
Scholarships; Financial aid given to students to help them pay for the degree they are attending for.
We use many terms in our daily admissions process at our institution.
We use accreditation as we discuss where the student must have an undergrad degree and taken their prerequisites.
We also use Enrollment as we have enrollment advisors who discuss whether or not we are a good fit for a student and they are a good fit for us as well.
We use Enrollment Agreements when a student is accepted to our institution and we keep them all on file.
We work with marketing on a daily basis to help us recruit for our institution and keep our prospective students informed.
We use many more when first contacting a prospective student, informing them about our school, helping them apply, interviewing them and accepting them for a coming term.
