Pre-conference Workshops
Among the highlights of the program are the Registrar 101/FERPA Two-Day workshop and the Reverse Transfer workshop.
Registrar 101/FERPA
Registrar 101 is designed for members of the profession who have been in registrar or registrar-related positions for less than three years and want to develop a more solid, expansive understanding of the work of the registrar’s office.
The goals of Registrar 101 are to develop an understanding of:
- the basic areas of work and responsibility of the registrar’s office;
- the integral role the registrar’s office plays in an institution’s academic community;
- trends in higher education that have an impact on the office of the registrar; and
- the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to be successful in the registrar profession.
Reverse Transfer
This workshop will review the efforts underway to facilitate reverse transfer in a low-cost, scalable, and sustainable manner. Scott Owczarek, University Registrar, University of Wisconsin – Madison, and Shelby Stanfield, Vice Provost and University Registrar, University of Texas at Austin, will review the efforts underway in their respective states and discuss some of the challenges faced, the lessons learned, and creative ideas put in place to facilitate reverse transfer. They will also discuss where these programs might lead, next steps, and the benefits and strategy behind developing a national approach to reverse transfer.
The Technology and Transfer Conference will be held July 12-14, 2015 at the JW Marriott Austin in Texas. Registration and hotel reservations are open, so start planning your summer trip to Austin. The conference is sponsored by Onbase by Hyland and CollegeSource, Inc.
