Course description

This course is designed to teach participants how to avoid conflicts of interest and handle them if encountered; identify and safeguard private information; and use decision-neutral language and provide guidance without setting expectations. By offering this course, your institution communicates its ethical values and promotes integrity at all steps of the admission process.

Most institutions have several college representatives, often well beyond the admission office staff, who interact with prospective students. Reaching everyone with a consistent message can be difficult. Use this course as part of staff development, HR onboarding, or training for an entire office, department, or campus.
