FACRAO: the Florida Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers

Since 1955, the Florida Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers has provided Florida’s enrollment professionals with a forum to address issues affecting your institutions and your profession. At the core of FACRAO’s mission is our commitment to promote the advancement of higher education in its fullest and broadest implications.

Today, we express this commitment through our professional development programs. FACRAO facilitates cost-effective professional development and networking opportunities via participation in our Executive Committee or other committees, program development, professional conference session presentations, and attendance at our annual meetings. Our learning sessions cover topics ranging from FERPA to new technologies in recruitment. By maintaining close contact with our membership, we ensure that our professional development programs are relevant to you, your front-line service staff and your departmental leadership.

 The Florida Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers is a non-profit organization whose purposes are to:

  • provide a forum for the interchange of information, ideas, and problems of common interest among our member institutions
  • contribute to the advancement of higher education in its fullest and broadest implications
  • foster the spirit of unity and cooperation among its members
  • function as a unifying and coordinating agency among the Florida’s admissions officers and registrars; and
