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.

Building Student Belonging to Grow Enrollment: Lessons for Your Current Admissions Cycle

February 22, 2023

2:00-3:00 pm ET | February 22, 2023

David Dufault-Hunter, AVP for Enrollment Services at California State University – Northridge, will discuss CSUN’s efforts to build a healthy sense of belonging for students before/after they arrive on campus to improve the overall student experience and build enrollment. Enrollment results and key takeaways will be presented from CSUN’s 12,000 student randomized controlled trial (RCT) on Nearpeer’s 2022/23 impact. RCTs are the gold standard for impact measurement.

The presentation will closely examine first-year, transfer, international, BIPOC, and other important student populations.

Christopher Quinn, COO of Nearpeer.com, will join Dr. Dufault-Hunter. Nearpeer is an innovative peer engagement solution that students love to use to “find their people” and make meaningful connections that build strong community amongst incoming students. In addition, Christopher will share a closer look at the student experience within the Nearpeer platform and feature student and staff perspectives.
