The CIE holds us accountable as well as the institution I work for. It is nice having guidelines to work off of.
As an admissions specialist it is very important to my to understand the rules and regulations as it relates to the governing body and school. It makes handling issues that relates to the admission process easier. They are a guide to what we can and cannot do.
Isamar,

We should always be current on the regulations not only for the protection of the consumers but also for our schools.

The Commission for Independent Education has statutory responsibilities in matters relating to nonpublic, postsecondary, educational institutions. In keeping with the Florida Department of Education's goal of producing a seamless educational system, some of these functions include consumer protection, program improvement, institutional policies and administration, data management, and the licensure of independent schools, colleges and universities.
The requirements are important to ensure the marketing and admissions processes are fair to consumers (prospective students).
The commission help all admissions representative to perform our job correctly to be up to date with rules an regulations and fair consumer practices. We need to be aware of the requirements of the regulations at all the times.
I would imagine getting commission for your job would motivate you to perform at a higher scale however that is not the case in my position. We are all equal here and work as a team. I like that better though, I think the key is to have a good work envirnment

It is very important to stay compliant with current rules and regulations. Since situations are always changing, so must the regulations be adapted to fit emerging situations.
The CIE requirements keep us updated and also in line with the rules and regualtions that we all must follow in order to be compliant in our positions.
The Commission for Independent Education requirements is extremely important in the admissions process. Verify Constantly that the admission process is working correctly with fair consumer practices. we need to review our policies and regulations. Training all the time and annually verify that our institution is complying with all the rules of the commission.
I couldn't agree with you more, Justin. It's not enough to simply know the regulations, it's important to follow them equitably and to have managers held to just as high a standard of enforcement as their staff on the 'front lines'.
The CIE requirements provide rules and regulations which enable an admissions representative to provide the right information to prospective students and be able to complete all forms correctly.
