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.

How to Lead Campus Efforts for Learning Mobility

October 17, 2023

October 17, 2023 | 2:00-3:00 pm ET

According to the State of Digital Credentials in the AACRAO community report based on results from our June 2023 survey, most members and their institutions believe that Registrars should be campus leaders in supporting design and implementation of efforts in support of learning mobility.  And when it comes to micro-credentials, digital badges, LERs, CLRs, and digital wallets, members clearly expressed that there are many different ways for us to lead. This includes sharing our functional expertise, standard building, technical understanding, experience in collaborative change management, and more. This webinar features a panel of Registrars from the AACRAO community who will share concrete examples of how they are already occupying diverse leadership roles to support learning mobility, and the lessons learned and best practices that they’ve discovered along the way.
