Registry

Many universities have a registry department, which is set up differently within each university. Typically the registry department provides a central support service for academic departments, administrative staff, senior managers and committees of the university as well as the students. The Registry provides support for the academic purposes of the University with a range of services that is often known as academic administration. The Registry department manages the student academic experience form, application through to graduation.
