The Office of the Registrar is constantly looking for ways to streamline and improve how we deliver and process information with our student, staff and faculty constituents. Below you will find lists of our current and recently completed projects.
Project Prioritization
The prioritization of a project is a given status grade based on factors such as impact to students, risk and need for compliance, and benefits to cost and efficiency. A project is at grade A if it meets two or more requirements for both High Urgency and High Impact. Projects at a grade B are Low Impact and High Urgency. Projects at grade C are Low Urgency but with High Impact. Finally, projects at grade D have low impact and low urgency.
Project Classification
Projects receive a classification of Sky, River, or Bloom based on whether they are initiated by the Office to improve internal processes (River), focus on broader institutional improvements affecting multiple departments (Sky), or are designed to impact the student experience or public perception of the university (Bloom).
Current Sky Projects
New Catalog Software
The redesigned University of Arizona Catalog is now available in a modern format that is both efficient and easy to navigate. The catalog contains a comprehensive listing of academic policies, program descriptions and degree requirements, and a full inventory of courses. With these elements, plus academic calendars, archived catalogs, and all other standard catalog features now housed in one unified location, users have a new level of convenience with this continuity of information.
The next phase of work on the catalog will focus on moving current curriculum management workflows into the new curriculum system and developing staff and faculty training, resource guides, and business processes. This phase of work is in collaboration with the Office of Curricular Affairs and the Graduate College.

Current River Projects
Streamlining Residency Classification
The current process to determine Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes is to request student information upon enrollment using the SORC (Statement of Residency Classification), which is a custom web app on a server slated to be decommissioned. Due to the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) and legislative changes, the questions asked in the SORC need to be revised, which gives an opportunity to wholistically review not only those questions, but the overall system of how we gather and process information for residency classification. This project will create a more streamlined and transparent student experience, increasing the efficiency of the residency classification process. This project is part of the SURPASS Initiative.

Reimagining Class Scheduling
The University process for scheduling and maintaining the Schedule of Classes relies on manual data entry by Department Schedulers during Open Scheduling and by using a Section Form during Closed Scheduling. The process has limited logic built in, has no communication with UAccess, and data entry is cumbersome for both the department scheduler and Room & Course Scheduling (RCS) staff. The goal of this project is to streamline the process of creating a Schedule of Classes for the Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall enrollment cycles. The completed process will pull information directly from UAccess, have system push information, and include built-in logic with the ability to control logic within the form.
