Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. A student-focused undergraduate university built on teaching excellence, Mount Royal University is known for our top-calibre programs, high-quality teaching and learning experience, robust delivery of liberal education, scholarly teaching, experiential learning and undergraduate research. Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 14 bachelor degrees and 38 majors. Learn more at mru.ca/AcademicPlan.

Mount Royal University is situated on an ancient and storied land that is steeped in ceremony and history that, until recently, was occupied exclusively by people indigenous to this place. With gratitude and reciprocity, Mount Royal acknowledges the relationships to the land and all beings, and the songs, stories and teachings of the Siksika Nation, the Piikani Nation, the Kainai Nation, the Îethka Stoney Nakoda Nation (consisting of the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney Nations), the people of the Tsuut'ina Nation, and the Métis.

Mount Royal University is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In support of our belief that diversity in our faculty and staff enriches the work, learning and research experiences for the entire campus community, we strongly encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply and self-identify.

The focus of the Students division is to serve and support the academic and non-academic growth and development of students. Our strength is in our approaches to peer-to-peer learning and student leadership by empowering students to work collaboratively with service areas and other students to grow holistically as individuals. The Students portfolio at Mount Royal broadly encompasses Student Experience & Success, Enrolment Management, International Education and Planning & Operations delivering support and services that are inextricably linked with the teaching and learning outcomes academic departments are tasked with achieving.

We support the University's mission by assisting students, staff and faculty through a variety of departments, including: Admissions, Recruitment and Transfer Credit, the Office of the Registrar (Awards, Academic Scheduling & Curriculum, Records, Registration and Financial Aid), Student Success and Learning (Academic Advising, Student Community Standards, Student Experience, Student Learning Services),Access and Inclusion Services, Career Services, Wellness Services, Cougars Athletics and Recreation, the Iniskim Centre, International Education, Residence Services, Student Systems and Student Communications.

Reporting to the Coordinator, Transfer Credit and Articulation, the incumbent is responsible for the research and evaluation of international high school and post-secondary documents for domestic students, as well as the evaluation of documents to determine if the English Language Proficiency requirement has been met. The incumbent will receive, evaluate and interpret the data from international transcripts (electronic and paper) for the purpose of entry into Banner, as well as supporting the domestic transcript entry team as required. Although entering accurate data into Banner is the goal, a set of complex procedures must be followed requiring significant judgment, evaluation, decision-making, creating new codes, clarifying content with other institutions and finally ensuring overall data integrity. All units within the Students Division rely on the accuracy of post-secondary transcript data for all other processes such as – automated GPA calculations for admission, transfer articulation, prerequisite checking for course registration, representation of courses in the degree audit system, and evaluation for graduation. This role includes analyzing and interpreting the data, requiring an in-depth understanding of the impact of various policies and procedures and the implications for all other business areas, troubleshooting, problem- solving, and providing suggested solutions to new issues when they arise.

The Data Processing Administrator must pay close attention to detail to verify the authenticity of documents and maintain the integrity of the University. Also involved is remaining up to date on new developments regarding the evaluation of international documents within the post-secondary system (provincially, nationally, and internationally) and working with other institutions and organizations to ensure appropriate and current benchmarks are being used in the evaluation process.

Talented and committed employees are the driving force behind student success. We strive to be an employer of choice among Canadian post-secondary institutions.

At Mount Royal University, we recognize that people are a combination of many intersecting identities; we work to cultivate an environment that welcomes the whole person, and harnesses the strength that is available in our diversity, creating a rich and inclusive workplace.

Investing in the learning and development of our employees benefits the individual and the University. A variety of services, resources and programs encourage a healthy, productive workplace. Mount Royal University offers a competitive total compensation package including health and dental benefits, pension, health and personal spending accounts, paid vacation, winter holiday closure, personal days, and a free membership in our fully equipped recreation centre.
