In this section it was made clear that understanding all proceedings and regulations the institution has in place is important as mistakes or issues that occur can affect the accreditation of the institution. Things such as sitting in during classes and regularly speaking with the directors of each department will also help in providing the student with the most up to date and accurate information available.

This was enlightening and I'm excited about the many ways to learn about programs to communicate about them to students. While I have worked in higher education for a long time, it was rare to see admissions representatives request to attend a class. However, I love this idea and am excited to interact with faculty in their classrooms in order to be able to communicate the experience to prospective students. This also covered the importance of the marketing plan, and really understanding the goals that drive the use of each type of media, and what the important message about each program is.
I learned a university can use any marketing strategy that fits the Fair Consumer Practices.
I learned that it is extremely important to have an opne line of communication with your students. Do they need help in academics? Do they understand the programs? The more I know as a Admissions Director or Administrator, the better I will be able to communicate with all departments and the students. Nothing beats first hand experience.

It is important to know how the other departments function so that we can collaborate better.
I really enjoyed the ideas of visiting places that relate to courses provided. Also, Reading the catalog, talk with personnel in the education department, sit in on classes, and talk to the placement department to learn where grads work. Talking to Alumni might help as well to gain your own knowledge about the courses you offer and the outcomes.
I have learn that find out information from other departments are very useful to do admission.
