Virtual Summit Frequently Asked Questions

Why did NASFAA change from a Virtual Conference to a Virtual Summit?

NASFAA reimagined the Virtual Conference as the Virtual Summit to better meet the needs of today’s financial aid professionals. The Virtual Summit features a more focused schedule with fewer sessions, allowing participants to engage with the most important policy updates, insights, and resources without stepping away from their daily responsibilities for an extended period.

Designed to complement the in-person NASFAA National Conference, the Virtual Summit offers a curated lineup of timely sessions developed by NASFAA members, NASFAA leadership, and the Training and Policy teams. This refreshed format provides a convenient way to stay informed and connected with NASFAA content in a streamlined, fully virtual experience.

How can I tell if someone from my institution/organization has registered for the Virtual Summit?

If another person at your institution/organization has already registered, contact information and connection instructions will be displayed instead of the registration process.

When are registration fees due?

The registration fee must be submitted at the time of registration. If you have any questions or concerns, contact [email protected]. 

Where can I view my registration confirmation and invoice?

Visit your myNASFAA Transactions & Involvement tab to review registration information. "NASFAA 2026 Virtual Summit" will appear at the top of the list, even if someone else completed the registration process for you. 

What is the cancellation policy?

Since any member on your institution's roster can access all live and on-demand sessions (except the NASFAA Credential Training), no cancellations are allowed, and no refunds will be issued. 

How long is the Virtual Summit?

The Virtual Summit will consist of several sessions daily from July 13-16, 2026. The content will be available on demand for six months following the conference.

Is the Virtual Summit covered in the NASFAA Webinar Package or Value Plus Membership benefit?

No. They are separate packages, and it is not included.
