Our specific duties include but are not limited to:

  • conducting registration;
  • preparing and publishing online the schedule of classes and the University Catalog;

  • determining student eligibility for NCAA athletic participation, Veteran's educational benefits, and residency status for tuition purposes;

We support student enrollment, retention, and graduation by empowering students, faculty, and staff while also serving our alumni and community constituents. We further accomplish this by adhering to University as well as South Dakota Board of Regent policy and procedures.
