ConAP College Tips for Success
Following are some suggestions for working with Army recruiters
to make ConAP a success:
- Invite recruiters to an orientation at your college. Discuss
the college and its facilities, academic programs, tuition and
fees, admissions requirements, application process, transfer
policies, credit for military courses and financial aid. Discuss
how education benefits for veterans are activated. Include a
tour of the campus. You want your local recruiters to be able
to discuss your college at a kitchen table with mothers and fathers
and sons and daughters.
- After the open house, provide an opportunity for recruiters
to meet with college counselors and discuss their progress toward
a degree. Seek to enroll recruiters as students. Not only will
you get another student, but you will get a recruiter who will
be more likely to refer his or her enlistees to your college.
- Volunteer to talk about the college at recruiter training
sessions.
- Volunteer to host Delayed Entry Program (DEP) functions at
the college. Arrange for a student who is a veteran to talk with
DEP soldiers.
- Agree to speak at recruiter functions such as luncheons.
- Call your recruiter if you are not receiving College
Referral and Intent to Enroll forms or you are otherwise
not satisfied with ConAP. Discuss and resolve concerns and problems.
- Bottom line--Work with recruiters. Help them build a partnership
with the college. Let them know you want the program to work.
Tell them how they can best communicate with students who are
stopping out of college. Advise them of the best locations for
their literature. Discuss with them how you would like to work
together.
