It is the national body for registrars and enrolment services professionals of recognized colleges and universities who are dedicated to supporting students and developing professional services and standards for its members.

This innovative, pan-Canadian initiative has benefited from the expertise of 100s of volunteers from colleges, universities and supporting organizations who engage regularly through various governance committees and who come from across Canada. Support has been provided by CUCCIO, PCCAT, and CanPESC and many others.
