  • What 2020 means for enrollment

    08/06/2020

    Higher education’s response to the pandemic and rising social movements is likely to shape institutions for years, even decades, to come. Decisions at this time may have lasting, and sometimes unintended, consequences.

  • The racist history of standardized testing in college admissions

    08/03/2020

    Admit It, the AACRAO admissions podcast, is back with Season 2. The first episode features Dr. William (Bill) E. Sedlacek and focuses on "noncognitive assessments," a term that is not without controversy. These are non-traditional measures of students' potential to succeed that move away from solely defining "best students" by known scales such as GPA, test scores, leadership, involvement, and accomplishments and instead attempt to assess who students are as people. Many campuses already use a holistic admissions process, which may include gauging a student's positive sense of self, realistic self-appraisal, and more.

    07/30/2020

    "The reality about your students, particularly if you have an applicant pool that is diverse socioeconomically, is that your students are doing hidden but Herculean and unbelievable things every single day. And that fact of the matter is that they don't talk about those things in college applications [...]."

  • AACRAO's Admit It Podcast Features Noncognitive Assessment

    07/20/2020

    In the latest episode of AACRAO's Admit It podcast, host James Miller interviews Dr. William Sedlacek on noncognitive assessment and how it can be used to predict success in higher education. Many institutions have successfully implemented noncognitive assessment as a part of their admissions process. Referred to as holistic or broad-based admissions, this process is a method of identifying and admitting students, beyond evaluation of GPA and test scores, who can thrive at an institution.

  • Trump Administration Rescinds Directive on International Students Following Swift and Fierce Response from Higher Ed, Students, States, and Others

    07/16/2020

    AACRAO celebrates the swift response of the the higher education community in opposition to the Trump administration's ill-conceived policy that would have required international students to attend in-person classes in the fall in order to remain in the country.

  • Which transfer student support services are you missing?

    07/14/2020

    Whether one calls it transfer, swirl, mobility, or some new, yet-to-be-seen nomenclature, the concept of students attending multiple institutions, whether simultaneously or for different periods, is no longer new. John Gardner referred to collegiate student transfer as “the new normal” in 2012 and AACRAO held its first transfer conference four years before that. Moreover, with 33% of all undergraduates transferring at least one time during their academic career (NSC 2012), why do institutions still struggle to court, let alone support, this population?

    07/08/2020

    "There's a tremendous variation in how [faculty] assess, in how they grade and that is part of the problem and part of why we keep leaning back into the carnegie unit. Because it's quite simple. Because it's numerical. Because it's an accounting measure. So we can all agree that it's not the way to measure learning but we can't seem to agree on a best way that we should."

  • Holistic admissions expands options during (and after) COVID

    06/17/2020

    As the world is coping and trying to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic, many colleges and universities are expanding their current admissions approach by adding holistic measures that present a more “whole” view of who a student is and their ability to succeed. “Holistic admissions” as a term has been around for 20 years, with various definitions as to what additional aspects are being considered in order to provide a more “whole” view of a student.

  • What, exactly, does a registrar do?

    06/09/2020

    Registrars are often called the “hub” or “heart” of campus, and for good reason. The registrar’s office is a central, essential component of the institutional ecosystem, touching students at every phase of the academic journey from applicant to alumni.
