Students’ Affair and Registrar

Background
The history of the Office of Students’ Affair and Registrar of the College of Social Sciences and Law may go back to some seven years before the present, i.e. around 2006/7,   during which time independent registrar offices were set up for each of the then three separate institutes which later formed the present College of Social Sciences and Law: Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Education (particularly Social Science Departments) and School of Law. As per the new proposal of the Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) plan of the University, however, these separate institutes were brought together under a single institute, College of Social Sciences and Law, in 2009.  It was with the merging of these separate institutes under the single college, College of Social Sciences and Law, that their respective independent registrar offices were also brought together to form today’s “Office of Students’ Affair and Registrar” of the College of Social Sciences and Law in the same year of 2009. By the new arrangement, the office is entrusted to entertain academic issues of the college students in addition to the regular registrar office tasks, and it is made accountable to the Dean of the college for the close supervision and smooth running of its service delivery.
