AACRAO Webinars
Applying SEM at the Community College
Join AACRAO for a webinar reviewing the recently released publication Applying SEM at the Community College, which identifies critical enrollment issues confronting two-year colleges and suggests effective strategies for resolving them.
Many struggle with the concept of strategic enrollment management (SEM) within the context of a community college's open-door mission. However, in reviewing the true definition of SEM--that is, the alignment of educational mission with student's education needs--it is apparent that in many ways SEM is already coded into the community college DNA.

FERPA and Financial Aid Records
"FERPA and Financial Aid Records," is intended to assist school officials (including financial aid administrators at postsecondary institutions) who work with student financial aid records in understanding their responsibilities concerning the treatment of student education records. The emphasis of this webinar is on those parts of FERPA that most directly affect the financial aid office, including a discussion of any relevant changes to the FERPA regulations. In addition to the discussion of FERPA, there will also be a limited discussion of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. AACRAO invites you to view a webcast of this presentation offered by LeRoy Rooker, AACRAO Senior Fellow and the leading expert on FERPA.

Learning How to Detect Forged Credentials
On any given day across the United States, college or university representatives decide to admit an applicant or to transfer courses for credit. What these well-intended campus officials usually do not know is that the documents on which they base these decisions are forged. A fact: If you and your colleagues are not checking documentation for forgeries, then you can be absolutely sure that you have admitted an applicant or given academic transfer credit to an individual who tampered with his or her documentation. Although the potential for fraud is greater for international applications, altered documentation is not only an international problem.

Unit-Record Issue
This webinar was pre-recorded and is currently available.
Proposals to track postsecondary students through the creation of one or more longitudinal data systems have been around for about a decade. In 2004, the National Center for Education Statistics formally convened Technical Revue Panels to investigate the feasibility of creating a federal "unit-record" data system to replace a number of Integrated Postsecondary Data System's (IPEDS) aggregate surveys. The proposed system, however, was affirmatively banned in legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act.
AACRAO invites you to view a webcast of a conversation between AACRAO Associate Executive Director, Barmak Nassirian, and Kevin Carey, Policy Director at the Education Sector on the unit-record concept.
