Every year, NASFAA develops its information-packed training series on topics of interest that are identified by association members and selected by NASFAA's Training and Professional Development Committee. This year's training will focus on implementing Final Rules negotiated as a result of the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. To ensure the timely delivery of information, NASFAA's 2009 Fall Training will be offered as a series of Webinars.
There are still three Fall Training series Webinars that will be offered Nov. 19, Nov. 24, and Dec. 16. The Nov. 19 and 24 Webinars will include approximately 60-90 minutes of presentation and 30 minutes of questions and answers. The final Webinar will be devoted to a question and answer session which will be a combination of questions from the earlier three Webinars and live questions submitted during the actual Webinar. After the final Webinar, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) will be developed and disseminated to all participants.
November 19 - Implementing Reauthorization Final Rules: General and Non-Loan Program Issues - Part 1
This Webinar will cover student consumer information issues, GAP/LEAP issues, peer to peer file sharing, students with intellectual disabilities, and TEACH Grant extenuating circumstances (Team V of Spring 2009 negotiated rulemaking).
This information will be useful to business office staff responsible for accounting and reporting for financial aid programs and/or determining and reporting the matching funds on the FISAP (LEAP/GAP changes and match); staff responsible for consumer information (including campus safety); and technology staff responsible for peer-to-peer file sharing.
November 24 - Implementing Reauthorization Final Rules: General and Non-Loan Program Issues - Part 2
This Webinar will cover Federal Pell Grants (year-round and children of soldiers), Federal Work-Study issues, readmission for service members, 90/10 issues, teach-outs, and baccalaureate in liberal arts in proprietary schools (Team V of Spring 2009 negotiated rulemaking).
This information will be useful to business office staff (90/10 provisions for proprietary schools and readmission of servicemembers for all schools); Veterans coordinator (Pell Grants and readmission of servicemembers); admission and registrar (readmission of servicemembers); and staff at for-profit institutions who make decisions about starting and terminating new programs (new definition of liberal arts program and teach-outs).
December 16 - Implementing Reauthorization Final Rules: Questions and Answers
Questions and Answer session based on prior Webinars plus questions submitted during this Webinar.
Tools and reference materials will be available for download prior to each Webinar. After the December 16th Webinar, each participant will receive a copy of the FAQ for the series.
Webinar Fees
A site license for each Webinar is $95 per Webinar for NASFAA members and $195 for non-members. If a member registers for all four 2009 Fall Training Webinars, they will be eligible for a $50 rebate - making the entire series only $330 for members. NASFAA will contact members when they qualify for the rebate once all four live Webinars have ended. A registered participant will have access to the live Webinar and a recorded archive, including the presentation and handouts, for up to five months after the live Webinars. The site license allows each registered participant to invite as many people from their institution as they wish to view the live Webinar from a single login.
What makes NASFAA Training Webinars the premiere training experience?
- VIDEO with real people on the screen, not just PowerPoint slides
Sure, we have PowerPoint slides, but the slides are SYNCHED with video and audio feeds, which makes our Webinars much more dynamic and interesting.
- Totally awesome HANDOUTS
Click here for a sneak peek of part of a 37-page handout developed specifically for the November 12 Webinar. Each Webinar comes with several handouts for all participants.
- Up-to-the-minute, easy-to-understand EXPLANATIONS
We'll discuss all the challenging aspects of reauthorization based on the kinds of situations you confront every day.
- Focus on IMPLEMENTATION
It's not just understanding what the changes are, but how you should implement those changes on your campus.
- Experienced TRAINERS
We don't read slides to you, we TEACH the material so you understand it.
- ANSWERS, provided both during and after the Webinar
If we don't get a chance to answer your specific question during the Webinar, we will answer it in a Q&A that is provided to all participants afterwards. Also, you can ALWAYS follow up with more questions via AskRegs Technical Assistance.
- FLEXIBILITY to watch the Webinar when, where, and with unlimited staff
When you register for a NASFAA Fall Training Webinar, you will have access to the live Webinar AND a recording of the event and its handouts for up to five months, to review at your leisure and share with your staff.
