The Office of the Registrar at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder will join the other enrollment departments--Admissions, Financial Aid, and Orientation--in the division of academic affairs on Sept. 1, according to Phil DiStefano, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
The Registrar's Office works closely with enrollment services and all of the colleges and schools to provide registration, academic scheduling, record-keeping, information services and academic support to students, faculty and the campus community.
"One of our major goals is to improve service to students from the time they apply, receive financial aid, arrive on campus for orientation and register for classes," DiStefano said.
"The addition of the registrar's office to admissions, financial aid and orientation in academic affairs completes the enrollment management team."
The Registrar's Office has traditionally functioned as a student services unit and reported to the vice chancellor for student affairs. Ron Stump, interim vice chancellor for student affairs, supports the transition.
"Being located with enrollment services is the proper location for the Registrar's Office," Stump said. "We expect the management of enrollment services to be enhanced by this change."
William Haid, CU-Boulder's registrar, also sees the move as a beneficial one for the university.
"We already work closely with the academic schools, colleges and departments, and I expect our working relationships to be strengthened by this move," Haid said.
"I also expect us to maintain the same level of student service and close working relationships with our colleagues in student affairs as we currently enjoy."
The Registrar will report to the executive director of enrollment services. All budgets, personnel and functions of the office will be retained and transferred to academic affairs.
The division of academic affairs directs the teaching and research enterprises at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder, including each of the schools and colleges, enrollment services, information technology services and faculty affairs, and offers more than 2,500 courses in 150 fields of study.
