2014 - 2015 Records and Registration Plan
A general statement (narrative) about what the department wants to accomplish.
The Registrar's Office is responsible for the majority of the data in the student portion of the college's student information system (Banner); maintains students’ records via the college's document imaging system; develops the academic master schedule; oversees transfer credit evaluations; responsible for determining applicability of credits registered for toward program for financial aid; distribute grades and processing of transcripts; graduation clearances; enrollment verifications working with the National Student Clearinghouse; and is the enforcer of many academic policies.
Reporting to the AVP for Enrollment Management and working closely with other offices of the Student Services division and the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Registrar and the staff are involved in many aspects of student and faculty engagement with the College.
The implementation of a new administrative computing system (SCT Banner) in 2007 continues to impact the work of the Registrar's Office today. As new functions have been introduced and new features added, this Office has taken a lead role in testing and implementation. The Student module is an integrated system which links courses, transcript and degree information with advising, faculty, and financial aid and thus connects the Registrar and the staff directly to other academic and administrative offices of the College. Using Banner to improve service to students, support new initiatives, and streamline business practices fall within the purview of the Registrar and the staff. The addition of Banner has transformed our ability to carry out this responsibility.
