• Identify office-wide process improvement opportunities, research best practices at peer institutions, and recommend changes to workflows, forms, and communications; recommendations are reviewed and approved by the Registrar or Associate Registrar prior to implementation.


• Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

Education – A college degree or four to eight years of work experience in a related field.

Employment - Two years to five years (Equivalent combination of education and employment).

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience in a registrar's office, enrollment services, or other higher education administrative setting is preferred. Experience with process improvement, project coordination, or technical writing/documentation is a plus.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write and organize clear procedural documentation. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other data and reporting tools, with the ability to analyze operational data and summarize findings for non-technical audiences. Familiarity with student information systems (e.g., Banner, Colleague, or Workday Student) and degree audit software preferred. Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple, competing priorities across different functional teams. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively, building effective working relationships across the office. Discretion in handling confidential student records and FERPA-protected information.

Physical Requirements

Job may require lifting light weight objects (1 to 10 pounds) with no repetitive bending or stooping. Occasionally lift average weight objects (1 to 10 pounds).
