The Position:

This is an on-campus position with some hybrid/remote work schedule flexibility.

Reporting to the Associate Registrar Systems and Curriculum, the Assistant Registrar Curriculum and Catalog Management is a key leader in the Office of the University Registrar, with accountability for all matters surrounding the development of undergraduate curricula and production of the University Catalog, the official source of the university’s undergraduate academic programs, courses, policies, and procedures. Serving as an ex-officio member of the Undergraduate Council and its curricular committees, the Assistant Registrar coordinates the work of the faculty committees charged with the oversight of the undergraduate curricula. The position serves as a resource for faculty, staff, and administration regarding curricular and academic policy and the utilization of the institutional curricular management system (Curriculog), catalog management system (Acalog), and the creation and maintenance of all curricula into the student information system (Banner). These systems are used for submitting, reviewing, approving, and maintaining all course and program curriculum proposals. The Assistant Registrar provides data and analysis from these systems to facilitate informed decision making and ensure compliance with academic policy. This includes the creation and dissemination of multiple reports (internal and external) required by statute or regulation. The position also regularly liaises with Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, Assistant Vice Provost for Accreditation (SACSCOC Liaison), UT-System officials, and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) on any issues involving the undergraduate curricula. When any decisions regarding upgrades or changes in software for these functions are considered, the Assistant Registrar plays a critical role in the discovery, evaluation, and any subsequent implementation of these systems in direct concert with external vendors and campus partners. The position serves as the direct supervisor of two additional staff members who provide support for the undergraduate curricula and catalog work. While fully responsible for undergraduate curricula and catalog work, the Assistant Registrar also supports the Graduate School and governance structure on their curricula and catalog matters.
