• Troubleshooting timetable and enrolment challenges, ensuring timely and effective resolution
• Processing enrolment support activities and assisting faculties with complex cases
• Collaborating with Programme Advisers, academic staff, and service teams across the University

• Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance systems, processes, and service delivery

Your work will directly contribute to a smooth and positive experience for thousands of students each semester.
