Office of the Registrar

Through an emphasis on teamwork, problem solving, and planning, the Office of the Registrar's staff will provide courteous and timely service to our constituents.

Degree Pathway Coordinator will serve as the primary credit evaluator. This credit evaluation will serve two purposes: first, to ensure that as much of a student's existing credits transfers as direct credit for the degree and, second, to map out a plan of study with accompanying timeline for the student for degree completion. The former will require the DPC to work with the registrar's office and academic program faculty to ensure direct credit is appropriately awarded in a timely manner. The latter will require that the DPC work with the student coaches to determine student needs and build a plan of study that is sensitive to the students desired completion timeline. A final role of the DPC will be to serve in tandem with the Flight Path student coaches as a care team around students in an assigned program. The DPC will serve as a secondary support contact for students during high volume time periods (registration, etc.) to answer questions, escalate issues, and triage problems on behalf of the student. They will meet regularly with the overall SCT and will have regular standing meetings with the Flight Path student coaches in their SCT to ensure efficiency of process.
