Waterloo, Canada University of Waterloo Full time

Overview:
**Term: 1 year**

Responsibility ranges from entry level admissions to a leadership role, leading process and procedural projects and providing the day to day leadership required to ensure all activities are maintained, while resolving more complex problems.

The AC advises and counsels applicants with respect to the implications of and reasons for positive and negative admission decisions. In doing so, he/she must be cognizant of the stresses and pressures that potential students and their guardians are experiencing and delicately handle very sensitive issues so as not to adversely affect the university’s enrolment targets and overall reputation. This requires both Faculty specific and systems specific knowledge, especially when dealing with the many cases that deviate from the norm.

The incumbent is responsible for verifying authenticity, coding and updating data received from or on behalf of applicants such as English Language Test scores, transcripts or other documents that are required before admission decisions can be finalized. As files are completed, the incumbent independently assesses when some applicant files are ready for a decision. In reviewing transcripts he/she is responsible in calculating routine overall grade point averages. As needed, the incumbent is required to code admission amendments to program evaluations as well as program status changes for the applicant.

QUEST (PeopleSoft Student Information System) and DMS (OnBase Document Management System) allows staff to track the status of documents received, correspondence, and generate letters and reports. Throughout the admissions cycle, the incumbent is expected to be able to answer inquires related to admissions decisions, offer conditions, for both OSS and specialty admissions groups (X+X, exchange, part time, non-degree and extend learning students. The incumbent may have frequent contact with UWaterloo Staff and Faculty Admissions Officers to discuss the status of applicant files and communicate this information precisely and accurately. The AC is expected to run standard queries and extracts to identify the various stages of completion of admissions activities and error checking. The incumbent is required to have a thorough knowledge of business processes and practices to make suggestions for improvements and to identify discrepancies.

Challenges faced by the AC result from: the diversity of end users and system functionality used within the Office, as well as the need to keep abreast of admission requirements, policy and procedure changes being implemented within the Registrar’s Office and University and increase in volume during peak periods. Upgrades to QUEST and DMS systems often lead to changes in administrative processes and procedures.
