Job Description

Who We Are

With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We’re looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.

Who You Are

As an Evaluator of Graduation and Transfer Credit in the Office of the Registrar, you would play a vital role in supporting students, faculty, and staff by managing academic records, registration processes, and other key administrative functions. You would be responsible for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of student records, including grades, transcripts, and degree audits. The Office of the Registrar handles course registration, manages enrollment data, and processes enrollment changes such as adding, dropping, and withdrawing from courses.  Additionally, the Office of the Registrar ensures compliance with academic policies and federal regulations, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which protects student privacy.

In addition, the office processes graduation applications, verifies degree completion, and issues official diplomas and transcripts. Staff also provides guidance with regard to transfer credit and works academic advising and students to ensure that their academic progress aligns with their degree or certificate requirements. In essence, the Office of the Registrar facilitates the smooth operation of academic processes, helping students navigate their educational journey from enrollment to graduation. 

The Evaluator of Graduation and Transfer Credit is responsible for evaluating student records to determine eligibility for degree and certificate conferrals, manages the transfer credit evaluation process, and updates the student information system to accurately reflect degree status within established deadlines. This role plays a critical part in maintaining the accuracy of student academic records and supports the integrity of the graduation process. The Evaluator will work closely with students, faculty and staff to ensure the timely and accurate conferral of degrees and posting of transferred credits, while also supporting other Registrar Office services and record processing as needed. This requires strong logic, professional communication skills, a thorough understanding of academic policies and procedures, and technical ability to effectively and accurately update modules in the Banner Student Records System related to Graduation, Transfer Credit Articulation, Curriculum declaration, Registration, and Academic History. 

This position has the opportunity for a hybrid work environment. This position is required to work on the college campus, in-person, a minimum of three days per week due to several operational and collaborative needs including:

  • Collaboration with Staff and Faculty: In-person presence allows for direct, real-time collaboration with colleagues in the Office of the Registrar, academic advisors, faculty members, and others. This is important when resolving complex issues related to course equivalencies, transfer credits, graduation completion, or discrepancies in transcripts. 

  • Student Interaction: Transcript evaluation or credit transfer questions may require face-to-face meetings with students. In-person availability improves the student experience, allowing for more personalized and immediate support.

  • Team Integration and Training: Being on-site allows for team building, better communication with coworkers, and participation in in-person training or professional development, which is essential for hands on systems such as Banner and Navigate. 

This position will be located at the Westminster Campus.

Please note: You need to be a Colorado resident on your first day of employment.
