然而, often the students' academic reality includes complexities that require additional guidance, 大学学院的档案办公室可以帮助他们, 亨利说, who added that members of the office love their work and enjoy seeing students “cross the finish line” at graduation.
“毕业是我们工作的重要组成部分,亨利说, 参考大学学院的毕业设计. “We have been doing our Graduation Project for about five years now and it is exclusive to the University College.
“As a college, we do a great deal of proactive work to avoid potential snafus around graduation time. 在三月和七月, 我们复习了差不多2个,000 academic requirements of students we believe are getting ready to graduate and send them information about graduation — what to do, 如何与他们的顾问见面, 以及什么时候申请. In August, we send them more information about graduation at their campus," 亨利解释说. "Our goal is to work with our campuses to encourage the students to meet with their respective advisers and to get the advisers in contact with the students so that all the information is disseminated.”
Chancellor and Chief 学术 Officer of Penn State 黑泽尔顿 Elizabeth Wright previously worked with Henry and Bailey in her role as associate dean in the 联邦校园副校长办公室. That's where Wright saw the important work being done to help seniors graduate, she said.
“I can't understate enough how important the records office is to the campuses,” said Wright. “Shirl and Tony provide invaluable support — they help us make sure that we keep our students on track toward graduation, 最显著的是他们的毕业倡议. 这个项目有很多元素, 包括针对学生的宣传活动, but it also includes work in which they go one by one through every student's audit to help keep the student on track and making progress toward a degree.”
Each one of Penn State's colleges is responsible for managing its own student records, 从入学到毕业. 在大学学院, Henry and Bailey are responsible for managing the student records at all 14 campuses and do all the work centrally.
Assistant Vice President and Executive Director for 学术 Services and Assessment Penny Carlson works with Henry and Bailey to guide and advise graduating students.
“They do such a good job of making sure that every student enrolled in the University College has a correct degree evaluation so that the student can progress toward graduation,卡尔森说. “Let's say a transfer student comes in — they (Henry and Bailey) must figure out if the student's transfer credits apply toward their degree. 大学档案办公室做的事他们都做.”
Henry and Bailey both help navigate complicated problems and the complexity of campus-staffing structures, with a sizeable degree of efficiency and constant kindness and often with humor, 据艾莉森·伯恩斯说, 免费mg不朽情缘试玩斯克兰顿校区注册员.

They always help to clarify the problem or issue, and then to identify a solution.
“可能是学生需要额外的学分或课程. 更经常, they can spot earned credits that can be substituted and used in better ways on the audit, 这样既节省了学生的时间又增加了成本,伯恩斯补充道。. “不管决议是什么, 我始终相信这样做对学生最有利, 同时也要维护学位课程的完整性.”
