History
In 1910, twenty-four college and university registrars and business officers, feeling the need to discuss their common responsibilities, met in Detroit, Michigan. Before adjournment, of this conference, the participants organized the American Association of Collegiate Registrars. From this small initial meeting, AACRAO has grown to a membership of more than 2,000 institutions with some 7,500 active members in the areas of admission, registration and records, international education, and institutional research, as well as affiliate member organizations. These members represent many types of institutions of higher education in the United States, Mexico, Canada and other countries.

In 1949, when many institutions began to establish separate offices of admissions and records, AACRAO adopted its present title: American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). Our Michigan Association of College Registrars hosted its first meeting in 1921 on the campus of Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Like AACRAO, we adopted the title of MACRAO in the early fifties. The organization continues to be a national leader.
