Registrar Systems Training
The Office of the Registrar provides systems training for Texas Tech University faculty and staff who need access to student records and the Registrar Dashboard. Required training and registration are managed through Cornerstone, the university's learning management system.
Employees must complete the appropriate training before access to student records systems can be granted. Training requirements depend on the level of access needed for their job responsibilities.
