Office of the Registrar – It is More Than Just for Registration!

The Registrar’s Office holds every student’s record of academic performance and is located in 214 Patton Hall. It is of extreme importance that you make sure that this Office has your correct and current mailing address on file, since this is the address to which all mail from the University will be sent. Failure to update your current mailing address could result in delayed receipt of important, time-sensitive, University correspondence. The Registrar’s Office also maintains transcripts for all coursework completed by students enrolled at the University. You should routinely monitor your transcript for errors, incomplete grades (I), and other problems which can be identified and corrected well in advance of graduation.

If you need further assistance in understanding how to view your transcript and what errors to look for, please consider receiving an Academic Record Check from Dr. Bennett in the Office of Retention and Academic Support (ORAS). Academic Record Checks help students understand their transcript, identify changes which need to occur, learn how to calculate their GPA, and develop a plan to achieve their academic and professional goals. Throughout the semester Dr. Bennett can be spotted on campus visiting the various residential halls to work one-on-one with students. Take some time in between classes to sit down with her and discuss your transcript. This record holds valuable information that, if overlooked, can be the deciding factor for your future. Students should remember the only official record of a student’s academic progress at the University is a transcript. If you miss Dr. Bennett in the residential halls, drop by her office in 105 Buchanan Hall. She will welcome you with open arms and give you the tools to manage your own transcript.

The Registrar’s office hours are from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. from Monday through Friday. The friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you to find answers to your questions. Take heed to ORAS’s slogan, “The Tassel is Worth the Hassle.”
