The Student Information Systems (SIS) Administrator is the institution’s dedicated technical and functional steward of its Student Information System — the authoritative platform of record for all student enrollment, academic records, financial aid, degree audit, and student account data. Reporting to the Director of Enterprise Applications, this role owns day‑to‑day SIS platform administration, configuration management, system maintenance, user access governance, and functional support for the Registrar, Financial Aid, Admissions, Academic Affairs, and Student Services offices that depend on SIS data to deliver institutional operations and regulatory compliance.

• Maintain and govern SIS security class and role definitions, ensuring role configurations accurately reflect the minimum data access required for each job function and are reviewed for appropriateness at least annually.
• Conduct periodic SIS access reviews in coordination with functional area managers, identifying and remediating access that no longer aligns to current job responsibilities, including accounts for terminated employees, transferred…
