About Training & Support

The Office of the Registrar works to build strong partnerships with academic and administrative offices across campus. Through such relationships we all benefit from more efficient and accurate processes that provide the highest level of support to our students and other stakeholders.

Stay Informed

To support these partnerships, the Office of the Registrar:

  • Schedules meet-and-greets with academic and administrative offices
  • Provides live training sessions to campus staff (see below)
  • Sends information to liaison email lists
  • Provides direct support as needed

About Student Referrals

When referring students to academic offices, the Office of the Registrar will say, "Contact your dept/school/college to see if X is a possibility." We are happy to discuss these situations immediately to clear up any confusion.

As the Office of the Registrar processes transactions for nine different colleges, schools and programs, each with varying policies that periodically change, we may not always know the current policies. We refer students to academic offices with the prescribed language above to avoid confusion and misinformation. Some examples:

  • GPA for probation/suspension
  • Good academic or dean's list standing requirements
  • Degree requirements, in-residence credit, and course cutbacks/repeat rules in degree audit
  • Transfer credit equivalencies
  • Signatures required for intercampus enrollment registration
  • Holds placed by other academic or administrative offices
