This position is recognized as the lead classified position of the Enrollment Services department group. This includes the following units: Admissions, Advising & Transfer Services, Enrollment Communications, Financial Aid, Records & Registration, and Testing Services. This employee represents the Dean of Enrollment and supports the diverse components of Enrollment Services as a whole. As the lead classified role in this department group, this employee is called upon to supervise office procedures and solve problems.
Although the Administrative Assistant does not directly supervise and evaluate staff members, this person has a leadership role in office operations. This employee is often the point person called to the front counter to address problematic situations. Routine job responsibilities demand that this employee supervise processes including, but not limited to, tuition appeals, withdrawal appeals, and residency. This employee must demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and a willingness to adapt to realities as processes, procedures, and positions evolve.
Due to the nature of daily interactions incumbent to this position, any error in judgment can have far-reaching effects. The Administrative Assistant is often the bearer of unwelcome news, particularly with regards to tuition appeals and residency issues, under the direction of the Dean. The employee must use tact, diplomacy, and persuasion in dealing with potentially volatile situations to ensure that these situations do not escalate into a prolonged and unproductive series of complaints. Consequences of errors in these areas include legal actions against the College and the potential to create a negative impression of the College within the community.
