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.

Getting it Right: Organizational Change Management in Higher Education

June 24, 2020

Free Webinar | 2:00-3:00 pm ET

Change is often difficult and is sometimes forced upon us when we least expect it; now is one of those times. Higher education is being forced to change at an unprecedented speed and scope in response to COVID-19.

The ability to manage change is an AACRAO Professional Competency for all higher education professionals. As such, we approached the research presented in this webinar with a goal of gaining an understanding of individual and institutional experiences managing change in higher education. We are joined by Ellucian’s William Kartsimas, a former university administrator who delivers insight into successful institutional change management projects.

In this webinar we hope you will:

  • gain a perspective on your institution’s readiness for change management as compared to others;
  • compare your level of change management experience with others;
  • understand how change management projects can be supported to be successful and impediments to success; and
  • gain a perspective on the scope, volume and success rate of technology change management projects.
