Every fall, colleges are faced with the excitement and buzz of enrollment and incoming students. While exciting and busy, it's also a period of evaluation and reflection, as administrators evaluate their enrollment successes and failures.

Of which, there are likely many.

Join Jeff Selingo, author and former editor of The Chronicle, on October 16, 2 p.m. ET, for a Virtual Forum conversation, "The Year Ahead: Enrollment Issues and Solutions." During this forum, a panel of national experts and practitioners will discuss:

• How test-optional policies are impacting enrollment.
• What happened around the botched rollout of the revised federal-aid form.
• How race-conscious admissions affect class diversity.
• What admissions and enrollment could look like in 2025.
