Admissions Officers at New England Tech play a key role as they serve as the first point of contact for individuals interested in learning about the many programs officered at our college. Once an individual enrolls at NEIT, the Admissions Officer then coordinates all enrollment-related activities such as academic testing and financial aid processing. Admissions Officers may conduct campus tours as well as visit high schools, college fairs, and community colleges for recruiting purposes.
