DocAlert-L Guidelines for Subscription and Use

Purpose:

The DocAlert-L list is a closed, national electronic forum available only to regular member institutions of the Association. Its sole purpose is for the issuing of document alerts by regular member institutions in good standing when a member institution has received documents of questionable authenticity.

Subscription:

A limited number of individuals (typically 2) with senior level admissions accountability at regular member institutions in good standing may be granted subscriptions to DocAlert-L. This is a closed listserv. It is not open to associate or corporate members.

Rules of Use:

  • Exchanges must be courteous, respectful and professional.
  • The list is not open to non-members.
  • Postings from non-members are not permitted.
  • DOCALERT-L is not a general discussion listserv.
  • Its sole purpose is for the issuing of document alerts by regular member institutions in good standing when a member institution has received documents of questionable authenticity.

ARUCC-L will remain in existence for the purpose of general discussions and surveys.

The required format for a Document Alert notice is as follows:

Subject: Document Alert
Dear Colleagues:
Anyone receiving an application for admission from the following individual may wish to contact me:

Family name:
First name:
Date of Birth:

Your name
Title
Institution
Contact details

Important Notes:

If you issue document alert notices, or follow up on a document alert that another member has issued, you should be aware of your obligations to applicants under your provincial protection of privacy and freedom of information legislation. Many institutions, for example, now include a statement on their application for admission form that warns applicants that any misrepresentation on the application form may result in information being shared with other post-secondary institutions. Members are encouraged to seek the advice of their institutional legal counsel about appropriate wording to be included on their applications for admission, to ensure that the applicant has provided written authorization to share information with third parties.

At no time is it appropriate to state that an individual’s documentation is fraudulent, nor is it advisable to provide further information in the body of your document alert. Information circulated on the Document Alert service is for the use of admissions personnel in member institutions ONLY, and must not be shared with third parties.

Document Alert Services: Receiving an Alert

Information circulated on the Document Alert service is for the use of admissions personnel in member institutions ONLY, and must not be shared with third parties.

If you decide to take action (such as refusing an applicant) on the basis of a document alert, it is not acceptable to name ARUCC, AUCC, or the institution which issued the alert in any communication with the applicant. Any refusal of admission must be based on your institution’s own admissions regulations and procedures. The document alert has no official status; it is simply a service to alert you to those cases where you may wish to pay particular attention to the application and its supporting documents.

Regular Member Services

The Association provides the following services to members:

ARUCC Directory

The Association's Directory is regularly updated on the ARUCC website, includes the names and addresses of the individual members at all member institutions, as well as e-mail and Web site addresses. Listings of Associate and Corporate Associates are also included.

ARUCC-L

The ARUCC-Listserv (ARUCC-L) is an un-moderated national electronic forum available to members of the Association. It is intended to promote the sharing of information, expertise, policies, procedures and advice about issues affecting registrarial personnel. Instructions for signing on to the listserv are available to members once they have logged in to the Members Area of the site.

Professional Development

The biennial ARUCC conference provides a regular forum for communication of new developments in registrar's offices, policy discussions, reports on special projects, special interest group meetings, as well as for informal networking.

Document Alert Services

Notices may be posted by regular member institutions to DOCALERT-L, a closed listserv available only to regular member institutions, to advise colleagues when a sister institution has received documents of questionable authenticity. Instructions for signing on to the listserv are available to members once they have logged in to the Members Area of the site.

ARUCC Forum

The ARUCC Forum is available in the Members Area of the site, and is an unmoderated discussion board where members can post and interact with threads, so as to foster conversation and dialogue in the ongoing work we do. Feel free to post questions to fellow members, interesting news or research from the field, announcements regarding recent initiatives, or anything that comes to mind. Note that it does not replace the existing ARUCC-L listserv, which will continue to be offered as a communication tool to all members.

ARUCC Survey Tool

The ARUCC Survey tool provides a full-function online surveying platform for all members, wherein results of surveys are immediately archivable and accessible to all. The system provides similar functionality to most surveying tools, and members can use it to post and curate their own multi-tier surveys. Note that for pulse-surveying (ie. one or two questions, max), members may use either this or the ARUCC Forum.

Job Posting Service

Information about positions available within the registrarial profession in Canada (and occasionally elsewhere) may be posted to the ARUCC website, and circulated to membership accordingly via the ARUCC-L listserv.
