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. 

Webinars

Using the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) as part of your SEM Toolkit

October 18, 2022

Free Webinar | October 18, 2022 | 2:00-3:00 pm ET

The Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) is a nationwide effort to help colleges and universities gain a fuller picture of student progress and identify how best to support all students, including transfers. Dedicated to the idea that easier access to better data helps institutions develop actionable insights, The PDP enables institutions to make informed decisions for improving student success and equitable outcomes.

With the PDP’s analytics and benchmarking, colleges gain the ability to examine KPI visualizations around student enrollment, early momentum indicators, and even inbound & outbound transfer outcome measures through its Tableau Dashboards and all can quickly disaggregate the data through a range of insightful and intersectional characteristics.  

This webinar will focus on providing an overview of the PDP and discuss its usefulness as part of an institution’s Strategic enrollment Management toolkit using both existing dashboards and the analysis-ready file. In addition to this webinar, those looking to join the conversation on CLR/LER should join the Post-Secondary PDP Community Practice.
