Findings and Recommendations of the AACRAO Working Group on Disciplinary Notations

In light of several states mandating institutions to note non-academic misconduct penalties on the transcript, AACARO formed a working group of registrar's and student service professionals to review current regulations and to have a wholesome discussion on the topic of non-academic disciplinary notations and how these should be reflected on the official transcript. The presentation will highlight the findings of the group and the recommendations being made that may influence future transcript guides.

Changing the Culture of Mental Health on Campus in Support of Front Line Service

The University of Calgary joins campuses across Canada committed to enhancing the mental health of university students, faculty, and staff. The University of Calgary Campus Mental Health Strategy was launched in December 2015. Through the work of the Mental Health Strategy Task Force, and as a result of a broad consultation process, twenty-eight action-oriented recommendations were generated to address expansion, enhancement, or development of initiatives in e six strategic focus areas above. Through this strategy, the University of Calgary commits to fostering a campus culture where students, faculty, and staff are supported, valued, included, connected and flourishing. A broad based implementation committee has now prioritized these recommendations and developed sub-committees to advance this work. One year following the release of the strategy, where are we now? How can the learnings and experience of the University of Calgary support front line service in the Office of the Registrar?

Simplify how employers verify education for your graduates

How does a perspective employer verify education for one of your graduates? The most common and easiest way is to go to the AuraData website. For the past 10 years we have been verifying education for graduates on behalf of schools.

During this presentation you will learn how schools can participate in this free service to automatically fulfill their incoming education verification requests. Schools tell us the number one benefit is eliminating the verification task so their staff can focus on other responsibilities.
