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.

The Secret Ingredient to SEM Success: Belonging

August 17, 2022

How Fresno State helps incoming students develop a strong sense of belonging during the admissions process to improve conversion and equity.

As prospective students decide where to go to college, they visit campus and peruse marketing images of leafy landscapes, old buildings, new residence halls, chemistry labs, and students having fun on the quad. They do this in the hope of finding a school where they think they’ll belong, fit in, and feel at home – but they can’t find what they really want to know: What are the students here really like, and will there be anyone there “like me?” Other students with similar identities? Interests? Life experiences? From my hometown?

Join this webinar on August 17 from 2-3 pm (EST) to hear from enrollment leaders at Fresno State (California State University, Fresno) and other institutions leveraging Nearpeer, the leading peer-to-peer engagement platform that drives a meaningful sense of belonging as early as the point of application. Nearpeer is proven to improve enrollment yield, persistence, and equity.
