Under the direction of the University Registrar, the Deputy Registrar serves as the principal operations leader in the University Registrar’s Office. While the University Registrar is the strategic leader of the organization, the Deputy Registrar provides internal leadership to the office and most operational stakeholders. In the absence of the University Registrar, the Deputy University Registrar represents the office in an official capacity, empowered to speak on behalf of the University Registrar with authority for decision-making, policy direction, goal setting, and project prioritization.

This position is responsible for providing resource management, expert staff management, project leadership, and oversight for compliance, technology, and project prioritization and effectiveness. The Deputy Registrar also provides oversight and guidance related to day-to-day office operations, office reporting deliverables, FERPA and records retention. Additionally, the Deputy Registrar is responsible for developing and maintaining a unified office training program, ensuring all staff are equipped with up-to-date knowledge and skills necessary for effective operation. The role includes managing overall office communications as well as communicating office initiatives, changes, expectations, and responsibilities to external stakeholders.

The Deputy Registrar participates in the broader goals of the office and actively engages with the university community. Success in this position requires the ability to adapt quickly within an ever-changing environment; comfort with ambiguity and flexibility are essential. The Deputy Registrar will work closely with project teams, coordinate the office’s project portfolio management, oversee continuous process improvement, and support policy and procedure advisement, all while maintaining open and effective communication both internally and externally.
