AACRAO recently conducted a survey of its membership to gather information about online registration services. The survey found that there is a high degree of interest in online services and that a large number of institutions already provide online services. The majority of respondents were interested in online services, with interest ratings in each service category of 70 percent or above. Many of the respondents’ institutions were already providing online services, although they were more likely to be providing informational services online, such as class schedules and catalog information, rather than processing services online, such as registration and payment processing. Of those institutions providing online services, most provided those services in-house. 

Unless otherwise noted in a specific report, the AACRAO member institution size, type and control categories are based on the following definitions and sources: 
The enrollment value used to delineate the institution's size category is defined as full-time enrollment plus 1/3 of part-time enrollment and is based on the enrollment reported by the institution to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). 
Institution type and control values are also defined by and verified through NCES criteria.
