Led by the Registrar, the Registry serves as a coordinating force for various departments, aiming for efficiency and optimal performance.
As earlier stated, the Registrar oversees all administrative staff of the University. Therefore the office has a close working relationship/oversight functions with the following offices:
The unit is headed by a Dean, usually an academic staff. However, the Deputy Registrar/Administrative Secretary is the administrative head of the School who assists the Registrar with day to day administration of the Postgraduate School.
This is the public relations unit of the University. Its major thrust is to provide accurate information about the University to the University community and general public. Although this Unit is under the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, it is however headed by a senior administrative staff, usually a Deputy Registrar. The Registrar plays an oversight role.
The students are at the heart of any university, therefore great attention must be put in ensuring their experiences in the university are rewarding. The Student Affairs Unit of the University of Lagos handles all matters concerning student welfare. The core of the Unit’s activities is allocation of accommodation for students, regulating student activities, mobilization for National Service identifying brilliant and indigent students for scholarships, and providing counselling services for students. This important Unit is headed by a Dean who relies on administrative staff in the day-to-day activities of the Unit. As the Chief Administrative Officer of the University, the Registrar plays an oversight role by ensuring the Unit conforms to the set norms of the University.
The University deals with individuals and corporate bodies on a regular basis, these engagements require that extant laws are considered. The Unit therefore prepares the legal framework for awarding and renewing contracts i.e. crafting suitable agreements, partnership with other organizations (both local and foreign) and other engagements. This Unit is therefore essential in advising Management on the rules of engagement. The Registrar works closely with the unit to ensure support from time to time.
The Faculty Office is headed by a Faculty Officer who is the Registrar’s representative in the faculty. The Faculty Officer is the secretary to most of the committees at the faculty level. It is pertinent to note that the Registrar provides support for the faculty officers at all times, the faculty officers in turn keep the Registrar abreast of progress and challenges facing the faculty. The Faculty Officer coordinates the administrative duties of all service personnel at the faculty level. They serve as the interface between the main Registry and staff/students at the faculty level.
This programme is headed by a Director, often an academic staff. The administrative head is a Registry staff. Like a Faculty Officer, the administrative staff in the Sandwich is the secretary to all committees and panelsservicing the Programme.The officer also reports to the Registrar from time to time for support.
