About The Position
The Assistant Director of Graduate School Admissions at Yale University plays a crucial role in overseeing the operational aspects of non-degree programs within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS). This position is responsible for managing various non-degree student programs, including Visiting Assistants in Research (VAR), Exchange Scholars, Visiting Students, and IvyPlus Exchange Scholars. Many of these students are international, necessitating a strong understanding of immigration requirements specific to their status. The Assistant Director will report directly to the Director of Admissions and will be expected to ensure compliance with established policies and procedures while also engaging in strategic planning and daily management of the programs. In this hybrid role, the Assistant Director will oversee the management and maintenance of the Division of Special Registration's application infrastructure, which includes data integrations with systems like Banner. The position requires a meticulous approach to ensure comprehensive materials collection and adherence to compliance standards. The Assistant Director will serve as the departmental expert on VAR applications, guiding applicants through the process and ensuring that all submissions meet regulatory requirements. This role also involves leading departmental communications, managing interactions with applicants, and providing expert-level support to registrars and faculty regarding student registration and program administration. The Assistant Director will be responsible for troubleshooting issues related to non-degree applicants, managing the admissions inbox, and assisting incoming students with onboarding processes. This includes addressing questions about IDs, credentials, and other documentation necessary for a smooth transition into the program. The role requires collaboration with various internal campus partners, including the Office of International Student Services, University Registrar's Office, and others, to ensure that all students are properly registered and compliant with health and immunization requirements. Additionally, the Assistant Director will participate in regular meetings and training activities, contribute insights on best practices, and manage special projects aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the application process. This position is integral to the success of the non-degree programs and requires a proactive approach to problem-solving and project management, ensuring that all initiatives align with the strategic goals of the department.
