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.

Bridging the Common Gaps Between Degree Audit and Planning

April 26, 2023

2:00-3:00 pm ET

It’s well known that students persist at a higher rate if they can visualize a clear, adaptive plan to completion. But if those plans don’t interact accurately with the degree audit, then students may be at risk of not finishing or graduating in a timely manner.

In this session, Josh Lind, University Registrar at University of Wisconsin-Stout, will share his experience identifying the important components of a robust degree planning and audit system in order to best support students and provide value to the institution.

Key takeaways will include:

  • The benefits of unifying degree audit and planning

  • How transparency and ease of use can impact the student’s experience

  • The role of analytics in supporting other campus constituents
