Admission Counselor-Transfer

Admissions Officers have a combination of planning and implementation responsibilities in delivering the admissions function for the University or a school within the University. They have responsibility for a particular department or function within an admissions office, such as recruitment or transfer students, often with managerial oversight of professional and administrative support staff. They support and help set goals for their departments or functions, and often allocate and supervise staff and resources, and evaluate results. Admissions Officers exercise discretion and have a degree of independence in daily decision-making in support of the school's admissions objectives.
