The Transformation of Student & Enrolment Services Division
Wondering what we've been up to?
We’ve been building a ship while sailing it! For almost a year,
David
Hannah (Associate Vice-President, Student & Enrolment Services) and
the
senior leadership team of the emerging Student & Enrolment Services
Division
(SESD) have in essence, been building a new ship while sailing
it. Planning
a new structure for our Division has meant keeping all of the existing
functions
running smoothly, while working with the Provost's Office, Financial
Services
Division, Human Resources Division, Facilities Management and the
bargaining
units — just to name a few — to move the Division
forward.
What has changed?
In order to begin to fulfill SESD's commitments to enhance the student
experience,
Student & Enrolment Services will be making significant changes to
its organizational
structure. The Division is currently advertising and will soon be
filling a
considerable number of positions as it moves forward to implement the
new structure.
The new Divisional structure is comprised of seven units reporting to
the Associate
Vice-President, Student & Enrolment Services (see reverse for more
details).
Approximately 25 positions within these seven areas are being posted, most of which have been created by deleting existing positions and reallocating the freed-up resources, converting term, part-time, casual and overtime budget dollars to permanent positions, filling numerous current vacancies, and using specific funding envelopes to support a number of term-certain special projects.
It is important to note that within the new organizational structure, SESD has fulfilled an important commitment of the ROSS Project — to ensure that jobs were provided for all permanent staff from the former Office of the Registrar and Student Affairs & Services.
Who can apply for the SESD job postings?
All eligible members of the campus community are encouraged to consider
participating
in the transformation of this exciting new Division by applying for any
of the
posted positions — these postings are not restricted.
How will students benefit?
The focus of all of the changes that have been in progress over
the
past year has been and continues to be to enhance the student
experience. The
selection of staff to fill these positions is an integral step in
achieving
this goal.
What happens next?
We are now completing the first phase of a process that is expected to
take
approximately four years to complete, and will encompass many major
changes,
including the implementation of a new student information system and the
development
of new physical space for the Division within the College/Administration
Building
project.
Stay tuned for more details as we continue the Transformation of Student
&
Enrolment Services at the U of S…
