USA Funds® University’s spring workshop webcast series delivers the same valuable information from the spring in-person workshops in an online format. Webcasts keep you informed about changes in federal policy and other key financial aid issues.
Webcasts are scheduled from 2-3:30 p.m. Eastern time on the dates listed below and will cover the following topics:
Federal Update
The financial aid industry recently has undergone massive change. Many in the industry question: What do we need to do now? Engage with your colleagues as we review the latest guidance on industry changes including the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
Conflicting Information
A student submits a tax return to the financial aid office, but is not selected for verification. The Veterans Affairs official responsible for certification at the school is notified that a student’s benefit amount is changing. The public relations office receives a list of scholarship recipients. All of these scenarios could present conflicting information that must be resolved. Resolving conflicting information involves the institution as a whole, not just the financial aid office. Examples, case studies and discussion items will help you identify the sources of conflicting information and resolve conflicts in an appropriate timeframe.
Once you’ve registered, login information and training materials will be sent the morning of the webcast to the e-mail address provided during registration.
