Policy on Agents and Independent Consultants
Every decision I make as the counselor at International School of Donnguan is
guided by a single question: What is best for the student?
In order to ensure
transparency and ethical practices regarding the university application and
admissions process, I adhere to a code of conduct known as the Statement of
Principles of Good Practice (SPGP), approved by the National Association for College
Admissions Counseling (NACAC).
This policy requires that you inform me if you are considering the employment of
– or have already hired – a professional agent or independent consultant to assist
your family with this complex process. My knowledge of such a relationship allows
me, in conjunction with the agent/consultant, to support your student with the
highest quality of service:
•
Clear expectations and appropriate division of tasks between offices
•
Proper handling of official school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and
other important documents
•
Assurance of correct completion of application forms
•
Effective communication between the family and both offices
•
Unified decision-making for the benefit of the student
In the unlikely event that I become aware of any improprieties that result in a
clear violation of the SPGP, it is my duty to report these violations to the prospective
institution(s) to which the student has applied, to NACAC and their overseas affiliate
IACAC, and any relevant accrediting bodies.
