Departmental Overview
The Associate Registrar (AR) for Enrollment, Systems, and Classroom Management is responsible for the planning, management and control of key Divisions within the Office of the Registrar that provide core student services throughout the campus.

The AR serves as a senior member of the Office's management group. The AR manages a complex series of programmatic activities and coordinates staff efforts to provide centralized services essential to the entire student body, alumni, faculty instructors, and staff in other academic and administrative departments. The AR will formulate short- and long-term goals and objectives in consultation with the Registrar, faculty, Deans, department chairs, academic committees, department heads and representatives from other institutions. The AR is one of the primary business partners and operational experts in various system development efforts that affect all students, staff, and faculty on campus. The AR directly supervises 5.00 FTE and indirectly supervises 13.00 FTE and has budgetary oversight for a share of the Office of the Registrar's $3.0 million total operating budget and the campus's $1.2 million Classroom Renovation budget.

Responsibilities
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT:
The Classroom Management division is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the campus's 210+ general assignment classrooms. The incumbent must also provide a long term vision for classrooms that aligns with pedagogical developments and the evolution of classroom technology. The division manages classroom space allocation for academic instruction and special events, coordinates maintenance, custodial activities and renovation projects with Construction and Design and Facilities Management. The division maintains the Class Schedule portion of the student database and related data vital to the smooth functioning of the Office of the Registrar. The division disseminates class scheduling and enrollment information to the campus.

OPERATIONS/POLICY: PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND REVIEW:
The Associate Registrar for Enrollment, Systems, and Classroom Management manages a complex series of programmatic activities and coordinates staff efforts to provide centralized services essential to the entire student body, all instructors of record, and the campus as a whole. The incumbent formulates short and long-term goals and objectives in consultation with the Registrar, faculty, Deans, department chairs, academic committees, department heads and representatives from other institutions. The four divisions under the purview of the Associate Registrar are as follows:

REGISTRATION & ENROLLMENT:
This division registers and enrolls all students for all semesters, including Summer Session and special summer programs. These activities include working closely with IS&T and other departments in ensuring smooth registration for 40,000 students using technology via Campus Solutions; preparing and disseminating registration information and instructions to 10,000 new and reentering students; processing confirmed class schedules for students and course rosters for faculty; providing general and specific information about registration; ensuring accurate modifications to students' course enrollments and assessing fees to all student accounts on Campus Solutions. The incumbent works closely with Summer Session and Student Services in developing information, registration, and procedures.

RESIDENCY:
The work of this unit is based on California Education Codes, State mandates and Senate Bills, and Regental policies. Accurate assessment of fees is dependent upon accurate determination of residency status and essential to campus/UCOP income revenue. The Residency unit determines residence status for all new and readmitted students, as well as those continuing nonresidents petitioning to change their status. Residency staff are required to determine a student's residence status according to the California Education Codes as passed by the California Legislature, State mandates and senate bills, and Regental policies. They are also bound by California law and University regulations to obtain necessary documentation prior to making a residency determination, without which they cannot grant a resident decision. Accurate and timely determinations are critical in the fee assessment and registration processes. Each incorrect assessment would cost the University ~$28,000 in NRT per student per year.

TECHNOLOGY: PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, REVIEW AND MODIFICATION:
The AR serves as a key business partner to IS&T and as a chief advisor to the University Registrar in planning, implementation review, and modifications to existing and new student systems. In the next five years, the AR will play a major role in leveraging the campus' investment and finding new bolt-ons to support Registration & Enrollment, Student Systems, and Classroom Management.

The AR has operational oversight for approximately $1 million of the OR budget and is responsible for developing and implementing budgets for managed functions.

PERSONNEL:
The AR directly supervises 5 FTE and indirectly supervises 11 FTE. The AR provides direction to subordinate managers and/or supervisors. The AR makes decisions on performance, salary actions, hiring decisions and other human resources related issues of managed staff.
