Get Your Students Hired
Robert,
If a school is not compliant with the regulations, they run the risk of losing their ability to operate in Florida. Punitive action is foremost when discovery of compliance errors exist.

Greg,
Every opportunity we spend with the prospective student is time well spent. It cements the relationship and informs the students of our activities.
Patty Aronoff
Well I'm fairly new but we have to make sure we are within compliance. This is of great importance.
Terms commonly used by our School are:
Application - one component of an applicant's submission for consideration to join our program; the application includes contact information, work experience summaries, and answers to several easy questions.
English Requirements - students whose highest degree attained was from a university in a country whose first language is not English are required to take a TOEFL or IELTS as part of the admissions process
Information Sessions - these are opportunities for prospective students to hear more about the program in an informal setting; they often include presentations from admission representatives, as well as a chance to see the campus and facilities where the studying will occur
Interviewing - upon completion of their application, students may be invited in for an interview, conducted by our admissions staff
Tanya,
You're off to great start with the training and learning the rules and regulations before licensure. I am sure this process is helped you in obtaining all the material you need for licensure.
Patty Aronoff
We are still in the process of being approved by the CIE and have not admitted any students yet.
Colleen,
We work hard to provide the right information for our students. Dental assisting is a great field to be in. A great career choice.

Ian,
Emissions do need to make sure that we outline all the aspects of enrollment that includes all fees being charged. There should be a distinction between tuition, refundable fees, and nonrefundable fees.
Patty Aronoff
One of our most common terms is career training and preparation. We are constantly seeking to give prospective students fair and accurate information about the dental assisting field, the DANB test, and actual career expectations.

It's all in the delivery! We need to be positive but more importantly we need to be honest and thorough.

Laura,
That is excellent news! When we focus on the student, the process takes care of itself. We work hard to retain students and finding the right fit for both of us is key to their success.

Samara ,
The marketing plan can certainly direct the students in your area. Knowing what brings them to your door is very important in understanding their career goals and finding the best fit.
Patty Aronoff
A commonly used term at our institution is marketing. We have many different programs for local as well as international students and it is important for me to know where we are advertising and in what areas we are focusing on at any given time. When students call in they expect the person on the other end to know exactly what they are referring to when they are talking about a specific promotion of our programs.
Great module!
Samara Zamora
We focus more on the prospective student before the actual admissions process. Some things we discuss are motivation, career paths and all the services provided for the student. These include financial and career services after graduation.
Marva ,
Motivation can be a powerful thing. We need to be cautious when we motivate students because we want to be sure that we are allowing them to make their own decision.
