Many financial aid administrators are uniquely qualified to lead enrollment management efforts at colleges and universities, but often those roles are filled from other areas of campus organization. Unfortunately, the training of financial aid professionals focuses so much on the rules that we rarely see ourselves as enrollment leaders who can work in the "gray." Join presenter Forrest Stuart, assistant vice president for financial aid at Lafayette College, for the Enrollment Management for Financial Aid Administrators webinar on March 11 at 2:00 p.m. ET, where he will share a brief history of enrollment management in colleges and universities and how financial aid administrators can "promote" their skills within the context of an enrollment management division, even if there is no official enrollment management division at your school. Register now.

The Department of Education is making this request is for an extension of the current approval of the policies and procedures for determining satisfactory academic progress (SAP) as required in Section 484 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
