Encouraging purposeful professional development requires purposeful leadership. That is precisely what the Professional Registry Commission provides.

The Registry Commission is the credentialing body of NIRSA. The Registry Commission awards the RCRSP credential and is responsible for setting policy and standards related to the RCRSP Program.

The Professional Registry Commission manages policies, standards, and other vital criteria to the RCRSP. To keep pace with the evolution of professional practice, the Registry Commission identified and oversees the eight core competencies of collegiate recreation and reviews Continuing Education Units and Professional Involvement Credits that are integral to the Registry of Collegiate Recreational Sports Professionals.

The commission is committed to fostering purposeful, ongoing professional development opportunities. Policies, standards, and other matters pertaining to the Registry of Collegiate Recreational Sports Professionals are managed by the Professional Registry Commission. The Commission’s structure, qualifications, and responsibilities are approved by the NIRSA Board of Directors.
