This position is recognized as the lead classified position of the Enrollment Services department group. This includes the following units: Admissions, Advising & Transfer Services, Enrollment Communications, Financial Aid, Records & Registration, and Testing Services. This employee represents the Vice President of Enrollment Management and supports the diverse components of Enrollment Services as a whole. As the lead classified role in this department group, this employee is called upon to supervise office procedures and resolve problems.

Routine responsibilities include overseeing processes such as tuition appeals, withdrawal appeals, and residency determinations. The employee must demonstrate flexibility and adaptability as procedures, systems, and operational needs evolve.

Due to the nature of daily interactions in this position, errors in judgment can have significant consequences.
