National Initiative Publishes Expanded English-Spanish Glossary of Terms Relating to Access to Higher Education

“A consortium of organizations from throughout the nation has released the second edition of an English-Spanish glossary of standard terms relating to access to higher education. This latest edition has evolved in its scope, and includes an additional 700 entries, many of which relate to changes made to the federal student aid programs under the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005.

This glossary aims to promote greater consistency in the vocabulary used in Spanish-language materials about higher education. Members of the initiative encourage professionals who produce these materials to use this glossary as a common reference. Those who may find this resource useful include secondary school administrators, postsecondary admissions and outreach professionals, and those involved in academic advising activities. Use of the glossary is entirely voluntary. “
