Edusuite Champions the Strategic Role of Registrars at the 36th UCSRA Convention

TAGAYTAY CITY – For school registrars across the Philippines, the daily reality is often a battle against logistical chaos. From wrestling with complex class schedules to managing endless enrollment lines and last-minute faculty hiring, the pressure is immense. At the 36th Annual Convention of the University, College, and School Registrars Association (UCSRA) last October 8-10, 2025 at the Hotel Casiana, Tagaytay City, Edusuite addressed these challenges head-on, presenting a new vision for the registrar's office: not as an administrative center, but as a strategic hub empowered by technology.

The convention's theme, "Resilient Minds, Responsive Services: Navigating the Future of Registrarship with Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Wellness," set the perfect stage for this forward-thinking discussion. As a proud sponsor of the three-day event, Edusuite's participation was highlighted by a presentation from its President and Co-founder, Niel Dagondon. 

Drawing from his background as an educator, Dagondon connected with the delegates by outlining the very pain points they face every semester:

• The manual puzzle of scheduling with its conflicting faculty preferences, room availability, and student needs.

• The inefficiency of managing irregular students and the long lines for student advising.

• The reactive scramble of dissolving classes and hiring faculty at the last minute.

"The traditional role of the registrar is burdened by manual processes that are no longer sustainable," Dagondon stated. "We believe the future of registrarship is one where technology handles these complex tasks, freeing you to become strategic leaders in your institution."

He then demonstrated how an AI-driven school management system provides a direct solution, sharing real-world results achieved by Edusuite's partner schools:

• Enrollment periods cut from 3 weeks down to just 2 days.

• Average student enlistment time reduced from 4-6 hours to only 10-15 minutes.

• A 24% average increase in units taken per student, thanks to optimized schedules and fewer conflicts.

By automating these core functions, Dagondon explained, the Registrar is empowered to move beyond simply managing records and can instead focus on data analysis, improving student services, and contributing to the school's overall growth and efficiency.

Throughout the convention, the Edusuite booth served as a hub for conversation and live engagement. The team, led by Business Growth Manager, Nikki Villaluna, and Marketing and Lead Generation Manager, Clarice Nablo, engaged with dozens of registrars, listening to their unique challenges and discussing how a true partnership approach to technology can solve them.

Edusuite's presence at the UCSRA Convention was a reaffirmation of its commitment to the Filipino registrar. By providing tools that eliminate administrative bottlenecks, Edusuite is dedicated to empowering these essential leaders to build the resilient, responsive, and future-ready schools of tomorrow.
