Modern Signal has been actively working with NASFAA on its main website and various sub-projects since 2013, including an extensive online conference management system with attendee, session, exhibitor, floorplan and scheduling tools. We designed and developed NASFAA’s online tool for managing its certification program for university financial aid administrators. Through the online tools, users are able to fill out an application form, and purchase, schedule and take an online exam. Upon exam approval, applicants can then log and track qualifying activities towards certification and reaccreditation such as attending a conference, speaking at an event, or taking a course or webinar.  Each activity has a point value and users must earn a certain # of points in each category in order to qualify.

• We built extensive back-end tools for NASFAA to review applicant data, approve/reject activities and ultimately approve/reject applicants for accreditation.
• NASFAA has tools to manage questions on the application form, and set up qualifying activities and designate point values to each.
• The purchase screens allow for real-time credit card transactions or “bill-later” invoicing.  All purchases are sent directly to NASFAA’s iMIS system for accounting.
