fafsa calendar information

Beginning on Oct. 1, 2016, students will be able to fill out the FAFSA for the 2017–18 school year. (In the past, they had to wait until January 1). In addition, applicants will no longer need to estimate income and tax information and will be able to retrieve their data directly from the IRS, right from the first day the FAFSA is available. Students also will have information about their Expected Family Contributions earlier, helping them as they’re going through the college application and selection process.

Free webinar |  | 1-2 PM ET

Students are faced with a dizzying array of choices - from majors to study abroad programs to internships - when setting foot on campus. Even with the help of advisors, it’s easy for students to get off track - leading lower student satisfaction, delayed graduation and sometimes drop outs. Strategic registrars recognize that degree progression is a key aspect of the student experience and crucial for institutional priorities related to student success, such as persistence and on-time graduation. John Papinchak, Registrar at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), will join Stellic in discussing CMU’s approach to degree progression and how registrars can be a partner in driving institutional priorities through degree planning.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  • Why degree progression is important to student success and other institutional priorities

  • How registrars can diagnose and solve degree progression issues in their student body

  • Specific examples of strategies that CMU has employed to help students progress in their degrees effectively
