Welcome
Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Mission
The College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) Office of Student Affairs & Enrollment Management serves students, the College, the University, and the larger society by contributing to the intellectual and personal growth of students. The office recognizes that students expect to receive a quality education in a quality environment. The mission of this office is to assure in the continuum from admission through graduation, that individual educational needs are met, while maintaining the academic standards established by the faculty of the College. We believe that our services should assist in maximizing a quality academic experience in the expectation that our students will become life-long learners and attain their career objectives. Through both college based and university wide services and programs, Student Affairs & Enrollment Management fosters the intellectual, social, ethical and personal development of students, preparing them to become members of a diverse and global society.
Admissions
Student Affairs & Enrollment Management is responsible for processing admissions applications for undergraduate students applying to the nursing and social work majors and for post-baccalaureate students applying to graduate programs or certificates.
Academic Advising
We provide academic advising to matriculated and prospective students. One of the most important ways to ensure a quality education is by maintaining contact between students and academic advisors. We recommend students meet with their advisors at least once per semester for curriculum planning.
Undergraduate Students can find out who their academic advisor is by visiting the Undergraduate Student Advisors page.
Graduate Students can find out who their academic advisor is by visiting the Graduate Student Advisors page.
Academic Actions
Student Affairs & Enrollment Management acts on all student issues, with the exception of grade appeals (please refer to the university catalog for information on appealing grades), and processes all academic actions for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the CHHS. Copies of any academic action filed on a student’s behalf are placed in the student’s permanent record.
