Office of the Registrar
We help you from the day you matriculate to
the day you graduate and every day in between.
Meet our registrar! Kristi has been at Monmouth for over 20 years. She's there from the moment you matriculate to the moment you're handed your diploma. She is awesome!
The Office of the Registrar is located in the Hewes Library as part of the ACE— Academic and Career Excellence— which also houses the Office of Global Engagement, the Office Student Success and Accessibility Services, and the Wackerle Center for Career, Leadership & Fellowships.
We love our study spaces all over campus. Whether in the Center for Science and Business or under a tall maple tree there is always a place to find your space.
Students work closely with their faculty advisors to explore majors, select courses and stay on track for graduation.
We’ll help you stay on track to graduation
Every student has a faculty academic advisor to help guide them through core curriculum and major requirements, but the Registrar’s Office can also help students get stay on track to graduation by answering questions, applying transfer credit and helping students add or change classes, majors, and advisors.
