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. 

Webinars

Comprehensive Learner Records: A Student-Centric Approach

December 3, 2019 - December 3, 2019

Free webinar | Postponed

Join AACRAO, Thomas Black, Assistant Vice Provost and Registrar, The Johns Hopkins University, and Sabih Bin Wasi, Founder & CEO of Stellic for a conversation about The Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR). 

Many institutions are exploring the potential of the CLR as a way to better document and validate the skills, knowledge, and abilities that learners develop throughout their education and beyond. The CLR goes beyond the basic list of courses, professors, and dates, often bringing in experience from research, internships, community service, and study abroad.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how the CLR benefits the learner. How does it change the way they tell their story to potential employers? Stepping back even further,  how does the CLR impact the way students plan their pathways and pursue their degrees? And finally, what role does technology play in helping learners build their body of knowledge?

Thomas Black will share his perspective as an administrator on the leading edge of CLR development and as a participant in two CLR grant projects funded by the Lumina Foundation while he served as registrar at Stanford University and now Johns Hopkins.
