学生记录协调员Shirl Henry和记录专家Tony Bailey为项目协调员提供支持和指导, who in turn provide accurate, timely guidance and support to faculty.
At the campuses of the University College, faculty and program coordinators advise students, help them navigate their degree requirements, approve re-enrollments, assist with change of majors, and organize graduation — in short, 他们在学生教育经历的各个方面为他们提供广泛的支持, explained Henry.
However, 通常，学生的学术现实包括需要额外指导的复杂性, and the University College's records office can assist them, said Henry, 谁补充说，办公室的成员热爱他们的工作，喜欢看到学生在毕业时“冲过终点线”.
“Graduation is a big part of our job,” Henry said, referring to the University College's Graduation Project. “到目前为止，我们已经做了五年的毕业设计，这是大学学院的独家项目.
“作为一所大学，我们做了大量积极主动的工作，以避免在毕业期间出现潜在的混乱. In March and July, we review almost 2,我们为即将毕业的学生提供1000个学术要求，并向他们发送毕业信息-该怎么做, how to meet with their adviser, and when to apply for it. 8月份，我们会向他们发送更多校园毕业信息。. “我们的目标是与我们的校园合作，鼓励学生与他们各自的顾问会面，并让顾问与学生联系，以便所有信息都得到传播.”
365英国上市黑兹顿分校校长兼首席学术官伊丽莎白·赖特(Elizabeth Wright)曾在联邦校园副校长办公室担任副院长，与亨利和贝利合作. 她说，这就是赖特看到帮助高年级毕业生所做的重要工作的地方.
“我不能低估档案室对校园的重要性，”赖特说. “谢尔和托尼提供了宝贵的支持——他们帮助我们确保我们的学生顺利毕业, most notably through their graduation initiative. The program has many elements, including an awareness campaign for students, 但它也包括一个接一个地对每个学生进行审核的工作，以帮助学生走上正轨，取得学位.”
365英国上市的每一所学院都负责管理自己的学生档案, from admission to graduation. In the University College, 亨利和贝利负责管理所有14个校区的学生档案，并集中完成所有工作.
助理副校长兼学术服务和评估执行主任Penny Carlson与Henry和Bailey一起指导和建议即将毕业的学生.
“他们做得很好，确保每个入读大学学院的学生都有正确的学位评估，这样学生就可以顺利毕业,” Carlson said. “比方说，一个转学生来了，他们(亨利和贝利)必须弄清楚这个学生的转学分是否适用于他们的学位. Anything that a college records office does, they do.”
亨利和贝利都帮助解决复杂的问题和校园人员结构的复杂性, 以相当高的效率和持续的善意，经常带着幽默, according to Allison Burns, Penn State Scranton campus registrar.
还是让各个校园的工作人员了解情况，以便他们及时对学生的进步做出决定, or fixing last-minute issues so a scholar can graduate on time, “Shirl and Tony are immensely efficient in their work, and both have incredibly kind, considerate and supportive natures,” Burns said. “我与他们合作，帮助解决学生因重新入学而可能遇到的学术要求问题, changes in major or option, curricular changes and other things. 他们总是有助于澄清问题或议题，然后确定解决方案.
“It may be that a student needs additional credits or classes. More often, 他们可以在审计中发现可以替代和以更好的方式使用的学分, which saves students time and added cost," added Burns. "Whatever the resolution may be, I always have confidence that it is in the best interest of the student, while also serving to uphold the integrity of the degree program.”
