Waterloo, Canada University of Waterloo Full time

Overview:
**Term: 1 year**

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.

- Review information and provide revisions to the appropriate member of the Admissions Team e.g. Updating information on Future Students website, reviewing content for Viewbooks

Complexity of Admissions Co-ordinators Accountabilities is Demonstrated by the Following Examples:

- Many of the coding situations handled by the incumbent, such as indexing, coding offers of admission, refusals, transfer credit coding, residency status, course registration, etc. affect the accuracy of Government reporting as well as tuition assessment
- OSS disqualification: new grade information requires a review of grade averages. Errors in calculations can result in the revocation of an offer of admission, which in turn can result in damage to the institution’s reputation and loss of revenue
- A student’s status may change term by term from full-time enrolment, to part-time, Letter of Permission, or an Exchange program. Departments such as Student Finance, Student Awards, Co-operative Education and Career Services and Undergraduate Offices rely on this information to trigger essential processes in their respective areas
- Academic Advisement, Student Awards and Financial Aid, Student Accounts and Student Records are immediately impacted by admissions updates

Communication & Stakeholder Focus:

- The incumbent will respond to inquiries from applicants, UWaterloo Staff and Faculty Undergraduate Advisors regarding the status of an applicant’s file
