Recruiting, Admissions, and Related Institutional Practices Policy

1. Sinclair College treats students ethically, respectfully, and professionally in the marketing, recruiting, and admissions process so that students can make informed enrollment decisions without being subjected to high-pressure tactics from Sinclair College.
2. All Sinclair College recruiters and admissions personnel have appropriate education, job titles, and training from Sinclair College for their role and are overseen by Sinclair College, which enforces a formal code of conduct for all such personnel; Sinclair College also oversees any third-party contractors who provide recruiting and admissions services and assures that any personnel who work with their prospective students have similar education, and experience as personnel employed by Sinclair and are trained by Sinclair to provide a similar level of service.
3. Information provided to prospective students in the recruiting and admissions process is accurate, complete, and up to date. It is provided to all prospective students without any requirement that such students provide contact information to receive basic information about Sinclair College. Sinclair College also makes its policies related to consumer protection accessible and transparent.
4. Sinclair College also promptly honors any request from such student to remove that student's name from phone, email, or other contact lists; student information collected through the admissions, recruiting, or lead process will be maintained as outlined in Sinclair College's data privacy policy, which must be prominently posted on Sinclair College's website.
5. Any job placement, salary information, or other student outcome data publicized as part of the recruiting process are based on all students in a cohort or class who completed the program; completing students are not excluded from the published data because they did not utilize Sinclair College's career, advising or other services; Sinclair College will maintain back-up documentation related to any such publicized outcome data and will make that back-up data available upon request. If Sinclair College publicizes for recruiting purposes outcome data based on student surveys or other partial information about a cohort or class of students, it will indicate clearly wherever it publicizes the rate of the number of students in the cohort or class and the number of students whose outcome data is included; if job placement or other related data are drawn from an external database, economic forecasting or other source, Sinclair College will indicate in conjunction with the publication of the data its source and will direct students to the original source of the information where applicable (e.g., Department of Labor website).
6. Sinclair College's recruiters, admissions officers, or appropriate third parties may answer questions about the student application process for admissions and financial aid, but in no case will such personnel complete these applications or apply the signature of the prospective student.
7. Students will have the right and responsibility to register for each academic term in which they are enrolled, and in no case will Sinclair College automatically register a student in the next term without that student's affirmative consent to such registration or the opportunity for the student to cancel that registration before the student is assessed tuition or fees for that term.
8. Prior to enrolling a prospective student in a program or major, Sinclair College should ensure that the student has had sufficient time to review Sinclair Colleges policies and procedures to understand the amount of federal, state, and Sinclair College financial aid the student is eligible to receive, and to learn how many credits, if any, will transfer and whether they will be applied to requirements of the major or general education or the process and timeline for evaluation of those credits; in no case will Sinclair College use high-pressure tactics to get a student to enroll or matriculate before it provides this basic information.
9. Sinclair College shall not induce or pressure a student to enroll by a specific deadline with the promise of cash or free goods or services outside of the regular process of scholarship monies, institutional discounting, fee waivers, financial aid, or other assistance; Sinclair College shall not promise that employment is being directly or indirectly offered or is more likely related to its education or provide any guarantees of employment related to that education.
10. In addition to a policy related to the Return of Title IV funds, Sinclair College has a refund policy to assure that students receive a refund where appropriate if they withdraw from an academic term or Sinclair College.

I have read and understand the expectations outlined in the Recruiting, Admissions, and Related Institutional Practices Policy.
