Navigating in Uncertainty: How to Prepare for ACTS
Recorded Wednesday, November 19, 2025
- Presentation Slides (PDF)
- FAQ* (coming soon)
Uncertainty doesn’t have to stall progress. This session focuses on what institutions can do today to prepare for ACTS: identifying available data, documenting gaps, and developing a feasible plan for compliant reporting as requirements are finalized. We will also share information about upcoming AIR resources, trainings, and support designed to help institutions navigate this new admissions survey with confidence.
As a result of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the purpose of the proposed Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement (ACTS) and its current reporting expectations based on the latest available information.
- Recognize areas of uncertainty in ACTS implementation, including timing, definitions, and institutional applicability.
- Identify which ACTS data elements their institution may already collect and where gaps or feasibility concerns are likely to emerge.
- Begin outlining practical next steps to prepare for ACTS reporting, including documentation needs and early coordination with key campus partners.
