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.

CLRs Are Here. Are You Ready?

March 11, 2021

Free Webinar | 12:00-1:00 pm ET

It has been a discussion for years. The traditional transcript is limited in what it can do for a learner. It’s a great start, but it struggles to holistically represent a learner's education for self-reflection, to allow a learner to tell their own story, or for employers to understand workforce ready skills that were learned during a learner’s academic career. A group of leading institutions that are launching CLRs in 2021 are sharing the driving force behind launching CLRs, how they incorporated their students in the process, and what they had to do to get executive sponsorship for the initiative.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  1. What an institution, a learner, and the employer get from a well developed CLR

  2. How an institution can decide if a CLR should be prioritized in 2021

  3. What it takes to launch a CLR
