Accomplishments

In addition to providing an ever-increasing variety of opportunities for professional growth for its members through an expanded annual meeting, FACRAO has initiated, sponsored, and otherwise been involved in many other projects during its fifty year history. Most of these activities have had a direct impact on higher education in Florida. Although it is not practical to list all of them, some of the more significant have been:

• Development of workshops for admissions, records and registration support personnel.
• Development of the original concept for a Common Course Numbering System.
• Development of a standard paper common transcript form.
• Increased inter-associational activities (AACRAO, SACRAO, GACRAO, etc.)
• Co-sponsorship with the Florida School Relations Committee and development of a statewide College Day schedule.
• In cooperation with the Florida Personnel and Guidance Association, developed counseling workshops and a statewide plan for guidance and admissions.
• Improvement of inter-institutional and inter-agency data reporting.
• Development of a joint exchange of Executive Committee members to other regional association meetings in the Southeastern United States.
• Development of the statewide postsecondary electronic transcript allowing the exchange of academic records using the Florida Information Resource Network (FIRN).
