Your Opportunity :

Under the general direction of the Director, Student Academic Services, the incumbent(s) will play a pivotal role impacting the academic journeys of our graduate students, and an important part in the development of graduate enrolment management (GEM) best practices in support of University objectives.

Additional responsibilities include updating forms, procedural manuals, and other training and information material, and communicating with a wide variety of graduate units and students on policy and procedural issues. You will have responsibility for coordinating one or more specialized portfolios in the area of student academic services, such as the student services website, records management, and the student services sections of the SGS Calendar.
