Requirements
Manager of Directed Registration and Enrollment Management - Georgetown University Law Center
Job Overview
The Manager of Directed Registration and Enrollment Management has three distinct areas of responsibility:
First: Specialized registration of hundreds of students each semester in professor permission courses, mandatory attendance courses, core/required curriculum (e.g., Advocacy LLM, S.J.D., Two-Year LLM, Scholars programs), cross-campus and consortium courses, and departmental-permission courses (e.g., Supervised Research, Externship). With the Senior Associate Registrar for Registration, the Manager assists with general registration and serves as an advisor to students and faculty regarding these processes
Second: Run of ad hoc reports and assistance for enforcing academic policies as they relate to student enrollment. This includes processing voluntary leaves of absences and withdrawals from the Law Center, as well as updating student records for degree/certificate changes, concurrent/joint degree students, study abroad and visiting away students. They create new student records and generate university credentials for special programs - for example, visiting exchange students and researchers, JD/LLM and LLM/MIA dual degree students.
Third: Coordination of transfer credit analysis and mutually exclusive course review; and cooperation with administrators in the Admissions, Academic Affairs, and Experiential Education offices in evaluating official law transcripts and course syllabi for transfer credit and mutual exclusion with Law Center courses.
Work Interactions
By organization, the Manager of Directed Registration and Enrollment Management reports to the Senior Associate Registrar, but in practice operates autonomously, having the authority to make decisions and exceptions to regulations without supervision. They interact with the entire Law Center community, including students, deans, full-time and adjunct faculty, administrators, and staff, as well as external constituencies
The Manager interacts primarily by email and phone with a broad range of constituencies, including students, alumni, deans, faculty, visitors, and other external sources. They analyze and interpret data and provide information in a clear and understandable fashion, serve in an advisory capacity, and understand and interpret Law Center policies and procedures and authorize exceptions to these rules on a daily basis.
The Manager qualifies as a 'Team Leader' - advising and directing the teams; answering complex questions functioning as an expert resource; maintaining assignment completion schedules.
Because the Office of the Registrar maintains a team-oriented environment, the Manager understands and accepts their role as part of this team. Due to the cyclical nature of the Registrar's Office responsibilities, the Manager - as is every employee - is called upon to work extended hours (including some weekend time) several times each semester (registration, add-drop, exams, commencement). Therefore, they apply a positive attitude and a willingness to devote as much time as is required to do the job right.
As well, during peak times of the year- registration, graduation, and exams - they assume responsibilities outside of their established scope of work.
