Get Your Students Hired
Attendance at our Exit Interview is mandatory and well attended. Notification of the Exit Interview date is posted at the beginning of each term and the student receives three notices of the date, time & location well in advance to allow for individual scheduling needs.
Students are reminded from Orientation through individual interactions throughout their attendance of the importance of this process and the necessity for attandance. Student Council also assists in reminding individual classes of the importance of their attendance.
Early communication of date, time & location is essential as well as stressing the necessity, importance, and helpfulness of the exit enables 100% attendance.
Joyce,
Once again I must apologize for my delayed responses to all of your postings. Many institutions are participating in online entrance and exit counseling websites. some institutions experience increased student participation and this will enable your students to have another avenue providing information on the loan requirements.
Sincerely,
Chyrl
Rod, we haven't had much success in that area either. Two years ago we added a link on our web site from the Guarantor's web site, which has an electronic Exit Interview for students to complete. This has greatly increased the number of Exit Interviews in our FA files.
Rod,
This is a difficult area to overcome. When I was in the college we always gave our upcoming graduates a Pizza Party to celebrate their upcoming graduation and we combined this with a small and simply exit counseling process. You would not believe how many graduates came. We also include the Academic Dean, President, and Placement-everyone prepared a brief message on there areas. We increased our show rate to about 80% and all had an enjoyable time.
