for the right classes, that students get important information about their program and the program
team gets important information about the students ahead of time. Tasks include role involves:
Approving registrations daily
- Frequently checking the Shambhala Database (SDB) for new registrations
- Reconcile registrations with existing records in SDB or add a new person if not already in the
database - Checking prerequisites as appropriate, eg that someone signing up for Level 5 has taken levels
1-4. - Pass along any registration notes (questions or requests from the ‘notes’ section such as
accessibility concerns and financial questions) to program director, coordinator or center staff as
appropriate.
Confirming program registration (approx. 10 days before program starts)
- Email confirmation to those who have paid
- Email separately to unpaid registrations
