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.

Strategic enrollment management (SEM) is a complex, fast-paced, and high-stakes endeavor. It is how the university operationalizes its strategic plan through the lens of enrollment and learner success. While SEM planning at the undergraduate level is commonplace at most universities, it is less common at the graduate level. In this webinar, we will explore best practices for SEM planning at the graduate level. We will also hear how those at the University of Connecticut are developing and implementing SEM goals and strategies at the graduate level by leveraging the approach taken for undergraduate-level SEM planning.
