The View from the Registrar’s Desk
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. | North 132B
What do you do when your students or denied applicants want to see
their admissions records? What are your records retention policies?
Are you following them? What does FERPA say we have to do? How
would you handle thousands of requests at the same time? This
session will explore how these questions played out at Stanford and
the impact on other campuses across the country. Participants will
learn what the law says and how to be prepared to manage such
requests proactively.

In February 2015, twenty invited senior university admissions
professionals attended AACRAO’s first Senior Symposium on

Admissions, when participants said, “My boss needs to hear this.” A
panel will speak to their experiences at the Symposium.

T3.4553 Win/Win: Withdrawal Can Be a
Positive Experience
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. | North 126AB
Students don’t always persist at their current institution, so finding
a way to make withdrawal a win-win for both the school and the
student might seem challenging. At the University of Miami, we
have embarked on a new process that we believe enables us to
gain valuable information about why students leave (win), ensures
that withdrawing students have a positive exit experience (win), and
creates an opportunity for students to return to the University in the
future (win).
