Division of Student Affairs
The mission of the Division of Student Affairs is to support and complement the academic mission of the University by working collaboratively with students, faculty and staff to provide co-curricular programming and services that promote the intellectual and personal development of our students. Through the collaboration of University departments, we are committed to providing a comprehensive university experience that is student-centered and assists in preparing our students' development that will enable them to be productive members of our rapidly changing global economy and society. Through our efforts, we focus on student development on such critical issues as personal responsibility, sense of community, respect for others, appreciation of diversity and ethical citizenship.
Students Under Age 18
A student under the age of 18 is required to have a signature from a parent or guardian to participate in certain campus events such as field trips, recreational activities, and sporting events. Attempting to obtain a signature for each would be burdensome for both the student and the parent or guardian, possibly causing the student to miss activities normally associated with college life.
A waiver form may be signed one time by the parent or guardian and the student, giving consent for the student to sign in place of the parent or guardian for all activities and events that require written consent. Waiver forms are obtained during the Preview Day event and Orientation. Forms are also available in the Dean of Students Office. The waiver expires the day the student reaches the age of 18.
