The Workforce & Continuing Education (WCE) Registration Technician performs registration functions (in-person, by phone, and online) for WCE programs. This position reviews and verifies all WCE registrations, and inputs most registrations, identifying incomplete information and assessing possible impacts to the students records, both financial and academic. The position enters data from a variety of sources, primarily the WCE registration form. Additional responsibilities include: answering questions and/or guiding students to appropriate departments as needed; processing drops, adds, and transfers for all WCE courses; processing scholarships, fee-waivers, and other financial-related transactions; and maintaining WCE student records (e.g. name changes, duplicate records, address changes), and creating and maintaining WCE course files for audit tracking. This position requires an individual who can maintain confidentiality and security of records as well as work with minimal supervision. Additionally, the duties require a high attention to detail, and a basic knowledge of a relational database. The Registration Technician must maintain a thorough knowledge of institutional policies and procedures, especially those impacting the WCE Registration process, WCE programs, continuing education regulations, and registration data systems relevant to the assignment.
