Sabrina Champion
Academic Records, Graduation Review & Diploma Services
Associate Registrar
schampion@gsu.edu
I am an associate registrar in the office of the Registrar, for the Academic Records and Graduation Review and Diploma Services offices. I received an associate degree from Atlanta Metropolitan College and a bachelor of science degree from Clayton State University. During my tenure here at the university, I have played an integral role with systems management and with implementing academic policy.
It is my belief that more things are accomplished with a collaborative team effort. Each day, it is the goal of the Academic Records, Graduation Review and Diploma Services offices to work together to provide excellent customer service to students, faculty and staff. What is distinct about this unit is that we have the opportunity to interact and impact the lives of students as they complete their journey to obtain a degree.
During and even after our students’ collegiate careers, they will have to pounce on an opportunity quickly, and I can guarantee my staff and I will be more than willing to assist.
