Registrar 101 is an interactive, online course for members of the profession who have been in registrar or registrar-related positions for less than two years. The course deals with such fundamental issues as:

  • the role and mission of the registrar in higher education today
  • helpful information resources that registrars use for their daily work
  • the registrar’s impact on academic policies and regulations
  • the latest interpretations of FERPA and other federal compliance issues

Facilitated by experienced members of the profession, participants compare notes on a wide range of topics of common interest and create a helpful network of colleagues at other institutions.

Participants should devote six to eight hours each of the 6 weeks the course is in session. To increase flexibility, each module’s timeline has been expanded, adding a week total to the course without increasing the workload. Course work includes reading and online course activities at hours convenient to their schedules. AACRAO awards a Professional Development
Certificate to participants who successfully complete all course modules.
