Study of a University Registrar in the Philippines
This study was conducted at the Leyte Normal University specifically the retrieval of student request of
pertinent records that were not included in the ISIS like document retrieval such as Transcript of Records (TOR),
Diploma, Form 137, Form 138, Honorable Dismissal, Good Moral, Birth Certificate (NSO), Marriage Certificate

university registrar process around an average of three hundred (300) request per day, whether the information found
in the ISIS or the Student Archives. This enormous number of transactions per day will affect the service of the
university registrar. In effect, a request of a particular clientele would take time due to this reason. Quantitative
design using the descriptive method and qualitative design was utilized by the researcher to determine the
detailed responses of the respondents towards the processes and transactions in the University Registrar’s Office,
and a narrative response from the respondents was also conducted to gather more information. A survey
questionnaire was used as its primary instrument and supported by interview and observation to fill in other
