FAFSA

2017 - 2018 FAFSA

(Early FAFSA/Prior Prior Year)

The 2017–18 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) season will begin earlier than previous FAFSA application cycles

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.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has had sweeping impacts for admissions offices and registrars, limiting recruitment travel, casting a shadow of uncertainty over Chinese enrollments, and complicating efforts for students to request transcripts and letters from institutions in China. In this webinar, we explore implications for admissions and registrars offices, share notable responses and case studies, and offer suggestions for how universities may respond to the crisis to best support their students.
