Intermediate Evaluator

Athabasca University's Office of the Registrar is currently recruiting for a part-time permanent Intermediate Evaluator. 

 

First consideration will be given to internal applicants according to the AUPE Collective Agreement, Article 11.02


The Position

Reporting to the Coordinator of Admissions and Transfer Credit Services, this position provides information and assistance to students regarding admission requirements, policies and procedures, interpretation of degree regulations, evaluating transcripts and assigning transfer credit.  This role will assist in the development and maintenance of evaluation policies and procedures by identifying areas that may require review.  The nature of the role requires a wide knowledge of policies, precedent, and a sound understanding of complex regulations.  Considerable initiative and independent judgment are required to make decisions within broad parameters, as the work is performed with little or no supervision.

The intermediate and senior evaluator positions have been established to provide a development process for evaluators. Evaluators at both levels perform similar functions, but at varying levels of expertise. In other words, they all assess external transcripts from educational institutions, process additional credit and letters of permission.  However, the incumbent's expertise will range from the ability to evaluate only Alberta universities to the ability to evaluate all documents worldwide as training toward the senior level progresses. The level of expertise (judgement, research skills, independence, familiarity with institutions, ability to handle large volumes) increases as a person progresses from intermediate to senior level.


Qualifications 

• Completion of grade 12 diploma and a minimum of one year post-secondary education plus one year experience in the evaluation of educational transcripts or an equivalent combination of education/experience may be considered.
• An excellent understanding of the concept of transfer credit, the evaluation of educational documents and the standard guidelines for evaluation.
• Substantial knowledge of post-secondary institutions in Canada and a general knowledge of those in the United States, their calendars, course descriptions and transcripts.
• An excellent knowledge of standard reference guides and resource materials and the ability to use them efficiently.
• Good interpersonal skills, including the ability to understand and serve students and colleagues.
• Working knowledge of entry and retrieval operations of a computerized information system.
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent organizational and analytical skills.
