What is Student Affairs? It is one of the major divisions of the UC Santa Cruz campus, with oversight of all issues and resources related to student life. Student Affairs is a cluster of units designed and devoted to serve all students, and to make sure that the learning and living environment on campus is conducive to attaining your academic goals. For students, that means the basics like getting financial aid, housing, health services, and possibly a job from the career center. But it also includes efforts to make every student feel important within the campus community. We offer many support services for students, including specialized support for re-entry students, and students with disabilities. Additionally, Student Affairs has student outreach programs in schools from the elementary school level to the community college level which help increase the pool of minority and low-income students who are academically qualified to attend UC.

Who is Student Affairs? We are a group of professional staff committed to diversity, and always to excellence. We work diligently to ensure student success, especially in regard to retention and graduation. We are knowledgeable about the changing needs and backgrounds of the students of the future, and seek to use emerging technologies to serve you better.
