The counselor explains program offerings and admissions requirements, helps students obtain transcript pre-evaluations, explains education-related payment processes, and introduces students to the online learning environment. The counselor helps students understand available tools and resources, serves as a point of contact during their first academic year, and partners with Student Services Support to support students’ academic progress toward degree completion. This role is outside the university counseling job-level plan, although time in the role may count toward university counseling levels if the employee transfers into university counseling operational roles. Specific program areas may require relevant work experience or knowledge, as described in the applicable posting. The position has no supervisory responsibilities.
