Academic and Degree Coordinator (Student Services Professional II)
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
We have Position Summary (could be About the role). Key Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Why Join Us? maybe Benefits? Actually "Why Join Us?" is more about benefits/perks but could be considered Benefits? However we have a separate Compensation And Benefits section later. So we can treat "Why Join Us?" as Benefits? But we have a Benefits section later with details. The "Why Join Us?" includes bullet-like sentences: Help students transform..., Support a flexible online learning environment..., Develop specialized expertise..., Combine analytical problem-solving..., Join a collaborative Global Campus team... Those are more like selling points, could be considered Benefits or maybe "About the role"? Probably better to treat as Benefits (non-monetary). However we already have a Benefits section with details (time off, retirement, health coverage, etc). So we could include both: Benefits (non-monetary) and Compensation And Benefits (compensation). But the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine "Why Join Us?" into Benefits section? But we also have explicit Compensation And Benefits. Could have two sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications (Education And Experience + Key Qualifications), Benefits (including Why Join Us? and Compensation And Benefits), Pay (salary range), Schedule (work hours, telecommuting). Let's see.
We need to avoid headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we have salary range: CSU Classification Salary Range: $5,083 - $7,228/month; hiring salary not expected to exceed $5,083/month. That's specific, so we can include Pay.
Schedule: Standard SDSU work hours Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but may vary based on operational needs. This position is approved for partial telecommuting with onsite work in San Diego, after an initial training period is completed. That's specific, so include Schedule.
Benefits: we have "Why Join Us?" bullet points and also "Compensation And Benefits" with details: Generous Time Off: 15 paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave. Retirement: CalPERS pension plan... Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision options... Education Support: CSU tuition fee waiver... Optional Offerings: FlexCash, life and disability insurance, legal and pet plans. Campus & Community: Access to library, campus events, employee groups, volunteer and social activities. Also "Our benefits are a significant part of total compensation." So we can combine these into Benefits section.
Qualifications: Education And Experience and Key Qualifications. Could be combined into Qualifications section. Or separate Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements (maybe education/experience) and Qualifications (skills). But we have both Education And Experience and Key Qualifications (which includes skills). Could treat Education And Experience as Requirements, Key Qualifications as Qualifications (or Skills). But we also have Skills heading possible. Let's map:
- About the role: Position Summary (maybe also Department Summary? but that's boilerplate? Department Summary includes mission etc. Might be considered About the role? It's somewhat generic but still substantive. Could include as part of About the role.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities bullet list.
- Requirements: Education And Experience (education/experience needed).
- Qualifications: Key Qualifications (skills, abilities, experience).
- Skills: maybe not needed separately if covered in Qualifications. But we could still include Skills if we have specific skill list: Advanced computer skills, Exceptional student service skills, etc. Those are in Key Qualifications. So we could omit Skills to avoid thin sections.
- Benefits: Why Join Us? + Compensation And Benefits details.
- Pay: Salary range.
- Schedule: Work hours and telecommuting.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We need to use for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out sections like SDSU Values, Principles of Community, Equal Opportunity and Excellence in Education and Employment, Supplemental Information (apply by date, background check, etc). Those are boilerplate/legal. Also Department Summary maybe borderline but it's mission statement; could be considered boilerplate? It's about the department's mission; might be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Department Summary is not exactly those; it's about the department's mission and values. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role. However it includes a lot of text about inclusion, diversity, etc. That could be considered EEO boilerplate? It's similar to Principles of Community. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove Department Summary as it's generic mission statement. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Department Summary includes statements about inclusion, diversity, eliminating systemic injustices, etc. That's akin to EEO/equal-opportunity. So better to remove it.
Also we need to remove "Supplemental Information" (application deadline, background check, etc). That's application instructions and legal. Remove.
Also remove "SDSU Values", "Principles of Community", "Equal Opportunity and Excellence in Education and Employment". Those are EEO boilerplate.
Also remove "Our benefits are a significant part of total compensation." maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's not boilerplate but it's a statement; could keep.
We need to keep all substantive info: Position Summary, Key Responsibilities, Why Join Us?, Position Information (full-time, benefits eligible, permanent/probationary, exempt, work hours, telecommuting), Education And Experience, Key Qualifications, Compensation And Benefits (details). Also maybe "Compensation" subsection within Compensation And Benefits.
We need to format as sections.
Let's extract content:
Position Summary paragraph: "The Academic & Degree Coordinator plays a key role in helping students successfully navigate their academic journey within SDSU Global Campus programs. Reporting to the Associate Director of Evaluations and Enrollment, this position evaluates applications and academic records, determines admission eligibility, and helps students understand how their previous coursework applies toward degree completion. The role combines detailed transcript evaluation, academic policy expertise, and personalized student support to create a clear pathway from admission through graduation. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented, student-centered professional who enjoys solving complex academic questions and helping students turn prior college experience into progress toward an SDSU degree."
We can put that under About the role (or maybe as prose). We'll use

.
Why Join Us? bullet points (looks like sentences separated by periods). We'll treat as list under Benefits maybe. But we have separate Benefits section later. Could combine.

This position is designated as exempt under FLSA and is not eligible for overtime compensation. Standard SDSU work hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but may vary based on operational needs. This position is approved for partial telecommuting with onsite work in San Diego, after an initial training period is completed."
We can split: Benefits eligible maybe part of Benefits? But we already have Benefits. However "benefits eligible" is a statement about eligibility; we could include in Benefits section as a note. But we already have detailed benefits. We'll keep it in Benefits section maybe as a sentence.
Schedule: work hours and telecommuting -> Schedule section.
Pay: we have compensation details later.
