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.

AACRAO Coffee Break: Transcript Processing Made Simple During COVID-19

April 24, 2020

Coffee Break Whether for enrollment pathways like credit transfer or employment pathways like professional licensure, never before has the importance of providing secure and timely transcripts been greater. As AACRAO’s Survey on Transfer Credit Evaluation, Official Transcript Receipt & Delivery revealed, many institutions still rely on paper and campus facilities, which in recent times, has made transcript processing more difficult. Through our Parchment and Credentials Solutions network and AACRAO’s leadership, we’re offering a simple, low-commitment transcript issuing service that provides online requests, multi-format (electronic and paper) delivery services, fast implementation, and is no-cost to the institution.
