Overview

The Director of Financial Aid serves as the TUC Title IV Financial Aid Officer and is primarily responsible for managing the daily operations of TUC Financial Aid services. This position reports directly to the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management at TUC. The director must have expertise in federal financial aid and demonstrate accuracy, results orientation, and strong organizational skills, with meticulous attention to detail. The role requires the ability to manage multiple projects and complete complex administrative tasks in a dynamic environment.

Key responsibilities of the Financial Aid Director include financial aid advising, maintaining financial aid records, supporting policy development, and enforcing academic satisfactory progress and program length standards. The Director also communicates with students regarding personal finances, academic records, registration activities, and financial needs, while certifying needs analysis, awards, and scholarships. Additionally, this position oversees the Federal Work Study (FWS) program and applies professional judgment in cases involving student-specific situations, such as unforeseen medical needs.

Given the nature of the role, the Financial Aid Director handles highly sensitive and confidential matters, maintaining the highest levels of trust and integrity. This position requires adaptability to a fast-paced, flexible environment with a focus on producing high-quality, accurate data in a timely manner. Proficiency in modern student information systems, such as Banner, and expertise in using Excel, Microsoft Office Suite, and other relevant software programs are essential. The Director is also responsible for submitting institutional reports and ensuring the Title IV compliance of the financial aid program, while working to enhance the integrity and efficiency of financial aid recordkeeping.

In addition to these responsibilities, the Director of Financial Aid supervises up to three staff members, including an associate director and two additional team members. Collaboration is a key aspect of the role, as the Director works closely with the TUS Financial Aid team on various projects, policy reviews, and implementations. The Director also partners with fellow directors within the Division of Student Affairs to provide guidance, contribute to strategic plan initiatives, and support the development and implementation of divisional goals.
