Registrars from 15 colleges gathered in Detroit, Michigan, on August 15, 1920, to form an enduring nationwide symposium that added the office of admissions in 1949, establishing the American Association of Collegiate Registrar’s and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). Supporting the professional Registrar’s with responsibilities, roles and several services are the AACRAO, which is the parent organization (Registrar’s Office, 2009).
