What is LACRAO?
Louisiana Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (LACRAO) is the unifying and coordinating agency among the recruiters, admissions staff, records and registration staff, and enrollment managers for all post secondary institutions in the state of Louisiana. For more information on LACRAO visit www.lacrao.org.
Why Zones?
The Recruiting Services Committee of LACRAO has our state divided into six zones. The Greater Baton Rouge Area, River Parishes and part of the Northshore representing zone three. Your zone coordinator works with the local high school counselors to schedule college/career fairs in their zones.
Each Fall LACRAO coordinates a zone system during the peak of the recruiting season to aid both the high schools and the recruiters. By allowing the zone system, colleges are able to visit with more high school students/parents across the state. Utilizing the zone system helps ensure more institutions availability for your scheduled programs. Each zone is allocated from 2-3 weeks to schedule all programs for the fall (August - December). Programs are not zoned for the Spring (January - May).
Interested in hosting a college/career program?
Here you will find detailed information about what is involved in a college program, how to determine if you need a program, whom to invite, and recommendations and requirements for hosting a program. You will also be able to complete the preference form to reserve your spot in the zone for the next fall recruiting season. MORE >>
What is Articulation Workshops?
Once a year, at the beginning of your school year (typically the end of August or beginning of September) LACRAO hosts an Articulation Workshop for you, high school counselors. Regardless if you are a seasoned veteran or a first-time high school counselor, we strongly encourage all counselors to attend. Each year the workshop host rotates among the colleges/universities located within the zone.
This one-day workshop is designed with your needs and questions in mind. In a typical workshop, you will learn updates from ACT, financial aid, admission requirements and other critical information your will need as you begin your school year. Be sure to bring a cart or luggage to carry all of your information home with you, because you're sure to be overloaded once you received the ever popular packets from each college and university in Louisiana.
