University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research.

The position of Registrar was officially established in 1886 to handle student admissions and grade records. In 1930 the title of the position became Dean of Admissions and Registrar. In 1942 it became Registrar and Examiner; the Registrar at that time had administrative authority over the Central Office of Records and the newly created Office of Admissions. In 1947 the Registrar's position was eliminated, and the directors of the Central Office of Records and the Office of Admissions were placed directly under the Chancellor. In 1954 the Central Office of Records was placed within the new Division of Student Affairs; in 1961 it was reorganized and named Office of Records and Registration. Finally, in 1969, the Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research was established and given authority over the Office of Records and Registration. The Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research was eliminated in 1984. The current positions of Registrar and Director of Institutional Research, because of much administrative reorganization, are not true successors to the previous Office.
