Meet the Academic Records Team

Academic Records is located on the 4th floor of Main Hall. We have the honor of working with prospective and current students from the point of admissions up to and including graduation and degree posting. We also work closely with staff in each college to ensure that students are on the right track to graduate whether it is reviewing additional transfer credit, creating degree audits/catalogs, or assisting with any hiccups along the way.

Director of Academic Records

Terry Gaurmer started working for Regis on July 5, 1989, as a transfer Credit Evaluator in the Office of the Registrar. During her 32 years at Regis, she has been an assistant registrar, associate registrar, and the Director of Academic Records for the past 15 years.

As Director of Academic Records, she manages the transition of admissions data and files into the student's academic records, the evaluation of transfer credit, the creation and maintenance of academic programs and courses, programming of degree audit, the production of the Regis University Catalog, scanning and indexing of external transcripts, processing of transcript requests, Dean's List, the evaluation of degree plans, graduation postings, and diploma creation. Additionally, she provides probation and suspension reports and academic policy and procedure expertise for the university as needed.

In addition, Katie is responsible for sustaining and developing standing systems and processes and implementing new student structures like the Ranger Portal.

They are responsible for evaluating all incoming exam credits for their student populations. Equally important, they support Admissions and Success Coaches by vetting acceptable transfer courses to recommend to students. They review and update transfer guides and other transfer web pages, such as the testing page for the current DSST and CLEP exams available for students.

Lisa's children are proud Regis graduates; her daughter is an M.D. doing a fellowship in Pediatric and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Maryland. Her son is in his second year of medical school at Wake Forest School of Medicine in NC. While she misses her children greatly, she keeps busy enjoying all things outdoors. She and her husband run, hike, snowshoe, ski and paddleboard, accompanied by their lovable black lab!

Andrea's oldest daughter followed in her footsteps and recently graduated from Regis. Away from work, Andrea loves spending time with her husband and three children. When time allows, you will find Andrea baking cakes for friends and family, often accompanied by her youngest daughter. She loves to work in her garden too, alongside her giant Mastiff, Simon, who supervises over her shoulder.

Once students are accepted to Regis, Juliette and Dina evaluate official academic transcripts for undergraduate students in Anderson and the School for Professional Advancement. As students' progress through their program toward graduation, recent transfer credits, and test scores are evaluated and added to the student's degree plan. As part of maintaining the student's record, they process academic intents/major declaration, combined bachelor's to masters, concurrent enrollment, and waiver/substitution forms. They also work with the student's success coach to process reentry forms for students who have left the University but now want to return by reactivating academic programs, updating catalog, and reviewing transfer credit and Regis credit. They annually review and update Anderson and SPA Transfer Guides for Colorado Community Colleges so prospective students can view them on the Regis website. Additionally, they process Official Name Change forms and Data Update forms for previous and current students.
