The Resource Notebook

What information have you placed in your Resource Notebook? What have you discovered that you didn't know about your institution or the rules and regulations that must be followed?

The Resource Notebook is a great tool for quick reference. It will make it so much easier to locate specific documents to support a topic or to define a specific detail.

Hi Sheri,

I do print out the material each year and exchange out old and outdated information for new and updated information when I come across it. That is actually the best way I find to maintain my Resource Notebook. I do, however, keep a folder of the old regulations because you will never know when an old process has to be proven, especially during accreditation visits because these do not occur anually. 

Many people fail to create and use a Resource Notebook. This is actually a mistake. Information and staying up-to-date about everything are keys to operating a successful institution. It works for us and may work for you too.

@pattyaronoff : My Resource Notebook includes our institution's catalog, our enrollment agreement, application from different courses availablein our instituition and other materials, and CM201 course materials including Terms and Definitions and the reference notebook ckecklist since there is the sites on where to go to get all the information I need to keep up to date.

I am thrilled to have the info in a book so i can refer to it daily

My Resource Notebook consist of the overview of Admissions Staff Training Program and the terms and definitions. I also made a note of the websites for Chapter 6 E, Florida Administrative Code Commission Rules.

I have a more detailed form of knowledge pertaining to the rules and regulations of my institution.

Dwight,

Enrolling international students complex in the process. Make sure first steps are followed appropriately.

In the Resource Notebook I have placed all reference material that is provided to me on each program offering and requirements of the school. My institution have some rules about international students I did not know about.

I have put together a reource notebook with curruicilum, cost of tuition, and addmission requirments.

I have been in training with an employee who is leaving and my resource notebook has all the information she has given me plus some of the printed material from this course so far. I am adding to it constantly. Everything from who to contact in case of phone/internet issues to when our office is scheduled for a fire drill. She is very thorough, thankfully. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a clue.

In my resource notebook I put all of the important information about my instituition in it. It is defenitely my go to manual.

Can the resource notebook be used as a training tool for new hires?

I'm constantly updating it. Its very important to keep it updated at all times

Katie,

Agreed! Continue to add additional material that will increase the value of your notebook.
