Admissions and Enrollment Services Unit
The Office of Admissions and Enrollment Services accepts and reviews admissions applications, verifies transcripts, assists with the registration of students in courses, and reviews and clears student applications for graduation. Prospective students complete an online application for admission; however, support is available on computers in the Office of Admissions or throughout the campus.
Students also have access to their student records where the Office of the Registrar is responsible for maintaining academic records and official permanent records for all matriculated students.
The Office of the Registrar is further charged with the responsibility to create and maintain student records prior to registration, such as the admissions application, placement test results, and transcripts, and to continuously maintain all student files in a safe and accessible manner, update all records required for the individual student, and update and maintain an adequate backup system for all computerized student records.
The Director of Admissions & Enrollment Services and Dean of Students ensure that all provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act policies (FERPA) are met concerning the release of public information and the release of information to students, institutional instructors, counselors, advisors, administrators, and national organizations and agencies.
The Dean of Students has the overall responsibility to supervise the student record-keeping system that is regularly updated and controlled by all provisions set forth in the FERPA policy. Written procedures are established to protect students’ confidentiality. Students may inspect their educational records upon written request to the Office of the Registrar.
