Pundits and public policymakers have long wished for disruption in higher education - and it's here. An increasing national focus on making higher education more accessible, affordable, and effective promises to deliver even more changes in coming years.
The definition of what it means to be a "student" (18 to 21 years old, living on campus) has been changing for some time, and continues to evolve. The number and mix of non-traditional learners who range in location, needs, age, and occupation are constantly shifting.
Changes in standardized testing, elimination of access to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) selected institution list, and use of prior-prior year (PPY) tax information in applying for finaicial aid all have significant impact on college admissions, student recruitment, financial aid, and other systems and processes.
Community Colleges, Colleges, and Universities have limited financial resources and limited time to react to these changes. The business processes and information technology that support them must evolve with these changes.
