    Enrolling new students can be an exciting time for many! With a new batch of excited and eager students, a rejuvenating energy known as "enrollment fervor" may encompass many schools. Teachers and administrations are eager to welcome students and prepare them to go into the workforce. The only downside to "enrollment fervor" can be that many schools get too engrossed in welcoming their new students, and forget to make sure all of the necessary pre-enrollment/admissions documents are completed. But, have no fear! This webinar will provide you with the key elements of Standard IV and Policy IV.01, and all of the critical pieces of the Pre-Enrollment &  Admissions processes.

    Enrollment Agreements

    One of the many vital requirements within NACCAS’ Standards and Criteria is policies. During this session we will review Policy IV.03 on the Enrollment Agreement Requirements and Checklist. This section of the Policy covers elements that are required in an institution’s enrollment agreement regarding the contractual relationship which exists between an institution and its applicant/student. Oftentimes schools are unclear about what constitutes a fully executed enrollment agreement and what elements are require to be included. As this is one of NACCAS’ most highly cited limitations during on-site evaluation visits, we will spend this session providing information on maintaining accrediting standards in this specific area.


    Institutional Refunds

    One of the many vital requirements within NACCAS’ scope is Standard VII, Criteria 4, 5, 6, & 7, as well as Policy VII.01 – Financial Practices & Management: Withdrawal and Settlement Policy and Checklist. This refers to the institutional refund policy. Schools can be confused about what NACCAS requires. In order to assist our member institutions with understanding the refund policy requirements, we will provide participants with a basic overview of what NACCAS requires, as well as examples and guides for calculating institutional refunds. This webinar is recommended for all administrative staff or any staff that deals with NACCAS requirements.


    Leaves of Absence

    This webinar discusses the complexities and importance of an institution’s Leave of Absence (LOA) policy for its students. Although it is important to note that LOA’s are optional for schools to utilize, we understand that un-foreseen circumstances can arise or planned vacations can occur, so more often than not, schools choose to implement a Leave of Absence policy. If this is the case, it is critically important that an institution’s LOA policy be in compliance with NACCAS’ Policy IV.06 – Leave of Absence Policy. If an LOA policy is not in compliance, or is not implemented correctly and consistently, multiple limitations could result for an institution, especially as LOA’s can affect an institution’s attendance policy, refund policy and most importantly fully-executed enrollment agreements. If this information seems useful to your organization, please join Yvette Brooks, Senior Accreditation Specialist, and Anthony Ray, Regional Accreditation Specialist for a one-hour webinar and complete discussion of LOA’s.


    Practical Grading

    One of the many vital requirements within NACCAS’ scope is Standard IX, Criterion 2, regarding Practical Grading. Oftentimes, schools can be confused about what NACCAS requires. In order to assist our member institutions with understanding Practical Grading, we will be offering a webinar that will provide participants with a basic overview of what NACCAS requires, as well as examples of “correct” and “incorrect” practical grading criteria. This webinar is recommended for all individuals involved with an institution’s evaluation of students or any staff that deals with NACCAS requirements.


    Advisory Board

    According to NACCAS’ Standards and Criteria, a NACCAS accredited institution must have an “external advisory committee comprised of an employer or employers representing the field(s) of study offered by the institution.” This webinar will provide participants with a basic overview of NACCAS’ Standard I, Criteria 6 – 11 and NACCAS’ Guidance for Understanding Standards and Policies. Topics covered will include the definition of an “external advisory committee” also known as “Advisory Board”, the reasons for an Advisory Board, who comprises the membership of such a board/committee and how to make the most effective and compliant use of the advisory board and information gathered through the meeting of external advisory committee members.
