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.

In Their Own Words: Perceptions of Training Needs Among and Between Professional Employee Levels

April 28, 2021

FREE WEBINAR | 2:00 P.M. ET - 3:00 P.M. ET
Almost 1,000 individuals responded to AACRAO’s invitations to share what they personally want in terms of professional development and training (PD&T) and what they think that others need for PD&T by position level.  PD&T interests were gathered with open-ended responses and tied to AACRAO’s core competencies and professional proficiencies. Among other specifics, we found that senior leadership and managers agree on the top five AACRAO core competency training needs for front-line staff. However, front-line staff did not agree with the assessment of senior leadership and managers in a number of areas.

In this webinar we will discuss how perceived training needs and wants differ among and between groups of front-line staff, managers, and senior leadership.  We will also share the other PD&T interest areas gleaned from open-ended responses. We will hear insights from an institutional senior leader  about opportunities and challenges around PD&T on their campus. Finally, we will offer suggestions for  how AACRAO, InsideTrack, and others can help you deliver the training needed and desired at your institution.
