Ashley,
Congratulations on your pathway to compliance. Building both at the same time will certainly assist you in both roles.

Patrick,
The terminology is so important. Start by reviewing the definitions as outlined in both statute and rule, then compare to your catalog.
Patty Aronoff
LeAnn,
Keep up the good work and you will quickly see the rewards of having a comprehensive resource notebook.
Patty Aronoff
Helmi,
Excellent! Keep adding any additional materials that will assist you and keep you on top of your game!
Patty Aronoff
Garrison,
Is your release of information form the same as a FERPA release?
Patty Aronoff
Lorri,
Using the definitions regularly is excellent! We always have to remember that for many prospective students, this may be the first time they have heard the term and many are either too shy or too embarrassed to ask what they mean.
Patty Aronoff
Omar,
You can reference both statute and rule for the definitions as stated by the Florida Department of Education.
Patty Aronoff
Jeffrey,
Thank you for posting your University's definitions. This helps others to understand the use by your school.
Patty Aronoff
Edric,
The enrollment agreement and the catalog constitute the contract between the student and the school. It is extremely important that the student understands the documents they are signing their name to.
Patty Aronoff
Lina,
Definitions are similar to a language. We need to understand the words and use them appropriately. For many people, these terms are foreign to them. Taking the extra time to explain the terms makes everyone understand their impact and use.

I feel we were given a good foundation of training and materials and felt good about what I already knew on the requirements from our internal training programs. I will be placing the notes from this program and some of the maxknowledge printed sections in my notebook for reference along with the rules from this obtained from this course. I will also be keeping an electronic file on some key points so I can access easily from my desktop. Thank you.
The resource notebook is an excellent tool to make sure that I stay in compliance with all the requirements, great help. Thank You
A lot of the definations used in this course are a part of my regular vocabulary where I work. Including enrollment agreement, application and Title IV funding. Lorri
The resource notebook is a great tool to make sure I stay compliant. Having the notebook readily available at my desk makes it easy to ensure I am compliant in answering prosepective student's questions.
Some of the most common terms and definitions used during the admissions process at my institution are Enrollment Agreement, Application, Accreditation, Program, Admissions Representative, Course Catalog, and Disclosure. While we as admissions representatives of course have knowledge of these terms, it definitely helped to see the precise definitions as defined by the FL DOE and the FCIE to clear up any misconceptions that anyone may have had (for example, the difference between 'Agent' and 'Admissions Representative').

I too have started to put together a personal Resource Notebook with all of the materials recommended by this training course.
While I am very familiar with both my campus' and the governmental rules and regulations regarding post-secondary educational institutions (compliance and admissions representative training were huge aspects of my 5+ week training), the definitions and resources both linked to and contained within this course provide an even greater level of immersion and learning into the specifics of these rules and regulations from the rulebook itself. Definitely very useful and greatly appreciated!
