About this

Opportunity

Student Affairs is committed to creating a vibrant and engaging learning community to inspire and enrich the lives of our students in support of the University of Victoria’s vision “to be a university of choice for outstanding students, faculty, and staff from BC, Canada, and around the world”. The Student Affairs portfolio includes: Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Management; Wellness, Recreation and Athletics; Campus Engagement; and Student Development and Success.

In working to achieve this vision, the Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Management (OREM) places students at the centre of operations and supports students to achieve their academic and life goals. Individual connections with OREM team members and services, as well as interactions with on-line services, contribute to students’ growth in knowledge, independence and confidence. Registrarial services strive to directly support students’ success in their university studies, campus life and subsequent life pursuits. The range of services provided by the units within the OREM appear at every point in the student life cycle, beginning with recruitment and admissions, all the way through to convocation. Members of the OREM team strive to be consistent in their interpretation, communication and application of regulations, policies and procedures while being both professional and respectful of the diversity and complexity of needs across the university campus. The OREM interacts with staff, students, faculty, university and external community members in order to assist in the delivery of core services that cross operational and departmental boundaries (e.g., registration, class and exam scheduling). It is important that students and our university colleagues are well-informed and well-supported by the OREM and the services offered.
