  • Streamline the registration process for adult and graduate students, ensuring accessibility and efficiency.
  • Utilize student data to analyze retention trends and identify areas for improvement.
  • Prepare regular reports, registration statistics, and related metrics for management review.
  • Collaborate with academic departments to align registration processes with program requirements and ensure accurate course offerings.
  • Communicate changes in curriculum or policies that may impact registration to relevant stakeholders.
  • Assist in orientation sessions for new adult and graduate students to familiarize them with registration processes, academic expectations, and available support services.
  • Stay informed about best practices in adult and graduate student retention and registration.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to processes and services based on feedback and data analysis.
  • Organize and participate in outreach events, workshops, and information sessions to engage with students and address their concerns.
  • Provide advisory support to students in navigating academic requirements, degree planning, and career pathways.
Qualifications

  • Experience in higher education administration, particularly in adult and graduate student services.
  • Knowledge of student development theories and best practices in retention strategies.
  • Proficiency in using student information systems and data analysis tools.
  • An interest in learning and the ability to master policies, processes, and procedures quickly is essential.
  • Project management skills and problem-solving skills are preferred.
  • Must be highly organized and detail oriented.
