Moore has been acting registrar since July 1, when Bruce Shutt retired after 23 years as registrar. His appointment to the position permanently is effective immediately, following approval by the University System Board of Regents, says Dwight Douglas, vice president for student affairs. As associate registrar, Moore has supervised the daily operation of the registrar's office and its staff of more than 20 people.
Students use the system to draw up class schedules and register for classes.
As the UGA official responsible for academic certification of athletes, Moore developed a tracking system to ensure that athletes are satisfactorily fulfilling NCAA academic requirements. He also developed a computer application to calculate students' credit hours and academic averages when they appeal the loss of the HOPE scholarship. Douglas says Moore was chosen from a pool of exceptionally strong applicants. I concurred with that evaluation, and we are very pleased that he will be our new registrar. Before joining UGA in 1977, Moore was registrar and director of admissions at Gordon Junior College and assistant registrar and assistant admissions director at Georgia Southwestern College.
