SURPASS Initiative
Streamlining University Registrar Processes to Amplify Student Success
The university can be a difficult place to navigate. To complete transactional requests, a student often must utilize multiple systems, seek professional advice, and/or spend hours combing policies and websites to identify which document to download and the correct person or office to email a completed form.
The Office of the Registrar currently supports over 80 different forms/processes:
- Custom SASG webforms
- Fillable PDFs, emailed
- Microsoft Forms
- Qualtrics Forms/Surveys
- Trellis Change of Schedule
The Office of the Registrar has created the SURPASS Initiative to streamline processes used by students and make it possible to efficiently implement and support existing and changing academic policies and procedures.
No longer an electronic ‘fill in the blank’ on free-standing, digitized paper forms, each SURPASS eForm is customized for the process to efficiently implement and support existing and changing academic policies and procedures.
New and updated processes will securely pull user information directly from PeopleSoft student data platform, cutting down on the need for data entry on either end of the process. The forms also support multiple approval routing options and allow reviewers to approve, deny, even “recycle” forms back to submitters.
The eForms will improve the service experience for all students, streamline form approval processes and reduce staff time advising on how to navigate disparate form-handling procedures.
