Rules and laws for college marketing are changing

College administrators are growing less and less tolerant of "purely solicitory" tactics on campus. Many campuses restrict tabling promotions. The trend has been for college administrators to impose more and more regulations. Some schools University of Minnesota at Twin Cities, Northwestern University at Evanston, and University of California at Irvine prohibit "table top" card marketing entirely.

Senator Kennedy from Massachusetts and Representative Carolyn Maloney from New York are working on legislation that curtails marketers, "that sign up college students for credit cards without providing pre-credit education".

Both trends build attendance to UCMS' Credit Strategies Seminars, differentiate us from marketers and add momentum to current success. Recently, our efforts have moved online to reach a greater population and streamline our efforts.
