From the Ground Up

Curriculum changes fast, and audits don't always keep up on their own. We'll cover refreshing audits with new constraints and handling complex or non-course requirements, with time to work through your own audit challenges.

Designed for audit builders and curriculum owners in the Registrar’s Office who are past initial launch and in a maintenance stage with audits.

Sending messages, booking appointments, and logging notes are just the starting point in Care. This workshop covers the next level of features that help advisors meet students where they are, including reviews, appointment campaigns, queues, and note templates.

Designed for institutions using Care, this workshop is ideal for advisors, student success staff, and Care administrators.

It's hard to know what registration implementation in a new system will take until you've gone through it yourself.

Designed for institutions that have committed to registration or are actively scoping it.

This session is ideal for those who understand the basics of workflows and are looking to go deeper. We'll cover utilizing custom workflows for real scenarios, with time to draft a plan for your own campus.

Designed for process owners in the Registrar's Office and administrative teams.

Pathways that work fine for a simple program can fall apart once you add sequential requirements or a major and minor combination. We'll cover building for those complex scenarios, with time to sketch out your own complex pathway.

How do you set your team up to move fast without sacrificing quality? NYU will share the story of their implementation, several deliberate structural choices, from how they made decisions to how they built internal expertise and brought others along.

Graduation clearance is often treated as a term-end fire drill. Columbia and UW-Milwaukee rebuilt the process from the ground up to make it something staff could rely on instead of scramble through.

You'll leave with a framework you can apply no matter where your own advising model stands today.

Connect with peers who share your role, from registrars to advisors to systems and student success staff. We'll group you by function to compare workflows and trade practical ideas you can use on your own campus.
