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.

Increasing Enrollment and Retention of Priority Student Populations

January 24, 2024

Encore webinar presentation with Cal State University enrollment leaders: The untapped power of belonging - Increasing enrollment and retention of priority student populations including Black, Transfer, Male, and First Gen students.

January 24, 2024 | 2:00-3:00 pm ET
Students are stressed and staffs are stretched - is building student belonging the elusive magic formula to achieve enrollment and retention goals? In this panel discussion leaders from within the California State University system, including Dr. David Dufault Hunter, AVP for Enrollment Management at CSU - Northridge; and Dr. Dwayne Cantrell, Associate Vice President and Chief Enrollment Officer, CSU – Bakersfield, will share perspectives on the importance of belonging and talk about their experiences using Nearpeer, an innovative peer engagement platform that meets students where they are, requires minimal staff time, and is proven by the largest research trial on a single intervention. The leaders will share their insights on the most significant finding from that study – a large, disproportionate effect on enrollment of key student populations: students of color, first gen, transfer, and male students. 

This is a live webinar and an encore presentation of the very popular session at AACRAO SEM conference in Seattle, including an update on the impact data.
