Get Your Students Hired
Review the organizational structure at your school. What did you discover? Where were there any surprises?
Dianne,
It gives a visual picture of what's going on at your school and how it's all connected. It's a great document to have.
Patty Aronoff
No surprises here since there is only me but I can see the value of this chart should my school grow.
Ed,
Under rule, the requirements for an Associates program is different than a diploma program. There are additional resources that students must have an campus.
Patty Aronoff
Misha,
That is a common organizational structure. You have department lades that report to the campus president.

Maricelly,
That is one of the benefits of a smaller school. Everyone knows each other and the roles we all have in creating a graduate.

Our Program has made the shift from a certificate program to an associate degree program. Even though we are still financially supported by the same institution, our organizational structure has changed in a signficant way.
In review of the organizational structure at my College, I found that we operate under a tree/branch approach. Each department has leadership, with the appropriate level of administration reporting to them. Each of the leaders are then responsible for reporting to the Campus President. This process enables efficient and reliable reporting within each department, and upwards through the organization as a whole.
Nicolette,
That is an excellent communication that your president does. It's important for everyone to understand their role in creating that graduate.

William,
You Bring forth an excellent point. It is not only how your organization is structured but the duties that fall behind those names and faces.

Jessica,
Marketing is your introduction to the student. It only has a few seconds to take a message across but it is the admissions representative that delivers.
Patty Aronoff
Michele,
Organizational chart can be very helpful in directing students for assistance. Not only who reports to whom but also who does what.
Patty Aronoff
The organizational structure at our institution is straightforward and logical. We are a smaller school and the structure has seen many changes as we continue to grow and add new programs to our offerings.
To keep everyone up to date, our college president sends out regular updates to all of our teams and includes the current Org Chart.
The most surprising aspect are the large number of matrixed reporting relationships. Just to give one example, the director of executive MBA admissions reports into both the director of admissions and the director of executive MBA programs. The other surprise is how commonly certain department have clear job titles while other areas are plagued by generic position titles where it is difficult to understand specific individual responsibilities.
Before beginning my career in admissions, I never would have thought that marketing would have played such a large roll in the admissions department as it does. No, marketing does not enroll the students, but they are partly responsible for getting the name of the College out there for all to become aware!
Our organization structure lists departments, as well as the name and responsibilities of every one on the chart. It is very clear who reports to whom and I did not find any surprises.
DONALD,
Knowing your schools organizational structure is very important when providing customer service to our students. Knowing how the departments are related and who is in charge is very important.
