Call for Proposals

Priority Deadline march 31, 2022 April 30, 2022

More than 500 higher education professionals attend the AACRAO Technology & Transfer Summit to explore how technology integrates into campus operations, and how strategic planning can foster innovative approaches to employing transfer credit and policies to facilitate academic mobility and improve student success. 

Our program focuses on three primary areas:

  • Technology
  • Transfer
  • Universal issues affecting the admissions, transfer, technology, enrollment management, registrar, financial aid, information technology, and student success space throughout higher education.

If you are helping to develop the future of technology and/or transfer practices on your campus, AACRAO invites you to share your ideas and experiences by submitting session proposals for our 2022 conference. Presenting provides unparalleled opportunities to share projects, initiatives, white papers, etc. as an individual, a team, or as part of a panel of experts. Your contributions are vital to making the Technology & Transfer Summit a continued success.
