Departmental Overview UC Berkeley's School of Law is one of the nation's great centers for legal education, ever exploring and pushing new intellectual boundaries while tackling urgent, real-world issues. The law school is also known for its vibrant and engaged community of students and scholars who are committed to providing leadership and making a difference on problems of local, national and global import. Currently ranked among the top law schools in the country, the School of Law has ambitious development goals as it looks to continue producing leaders in law, government, and society. The Student Services unit is responsible for providing front-line information and guidance to the public regarding services performed within the Office of the Registrar and throughout the entire law school. These services include providing deadline information; responding to requests for student and alumni status, degree and attendance information; maintaining academic records; registering and enrolling students; and working with complicated systems. The Registrar's Office is responsible for timely, accurate processing of academic transcripts. The Office also maintains accurate accounts of the academic histories of every student who attended Berkeley Law. Responsibilities include performance of handling petitions, processing letter requests, and assisting with data collection for degree checks. The Office is also charged with enforcing and implementing Federal and state laws regarding student and alumni information, as well as University, Faculty, and Berkeley Campus regulations and policies regarding the maintenance of student and alumni records, verification of student status, and issuance of official transcripts. The Office is responsible for handling confidential information with consistently high levels of security, in compliance with FERPA, Federal and state laws, and University and Law School regulations and policies. This position has primary front-line responsibility for providing information, assistance, and advising to the entire campus population and general public regarding student enrollment and registration, student records, transcripts, and other services provided by the Office of the Registrar. To function effectively, this position must stay abreast of law school and campus policies and deadlines, Faculty regulations and procedures, Office of the Registrar practices, the academic record, and internal regulations and policies. The person in this position must maintain a broad, general knowledge of the law school in order to provide accurate information to a diverse constituency. The person in this position must adhere to Federal and state laws and University policies regarding privacy of student records, and exercise sound judgment when dealing with the public and sharing information that is highly scrutinized, complex and sensitive. However, the pandemic precipitated numerous changes in the way our office functions. It pushed our office to implement electronic student files using Perceptive Content, move all of our paper forms to DocuSign, and to rely on Parchment to encrypt and provide our students with electronic transcripts that are pulled from Campus Solutions. The Registrar Specialist has been essential in the evolution of our use of these systems and ensured that these systems connect and share data. This role now sets up complex forms within DocuSign that route directly into our e-files, which requires collaborating with our main campus partners and testing forms. The Registrar Specialist sets up and implements changes to make the forms more efficient. This position also works very closely with our electronic transcript vendor, Parchment, testing their new interface and working to improve the student experience. When transcripts stop running or encounter problems, the Registrar Specialist troubleshoots and works with Parchment to get the RoboReg back online and running. Due to the implementation of these databases, it created new processes and responsibilities that the Registrar Specialist now oversees.
