The Office of Student Life (OSL) serves as an advocate for students in relation to their campus life experience at Santa Clara University. Some examples of services and programs the Office of Student Life provides are: - Personal, Family, Medical Emergencies: The OSL will contact faculty members on behalf of a student if OSL is informed of situations that involve personal, family, or medical emergencies. It is the student’s responsibility to make the subsequent arrangements with his/her professors regarding missed class time, assignments, and exams.
- The Guide to Off Campus Living and the Student Handbook: Both publications are revised and distributed as a hard copy every year and are also available online. The Guide…contains useful information such as tenant and landlord rights and the Student Handbook contains all the policies and procedures relevant to student life.
- Off Campus Housing Listing: The OSL maintains a website with current rental information for apartments and houses in the neighborhoods nearby the University. Students who have off campus housing, but are looking for additional roommates can also post on the webpage.
- Academic Integrity Student Board: This board develops passive and active campaigns to promote academic integrity at SCU. The board emphasizes the important connection between academic and personal integrity. A commitment to living with integrity is an ethical foundation that governs many aspects of life such as decision making skills, motivation to work, and the manner in which people interact with others.
- Sexual Assault Response and Prevention: The OSL works with victims of sexual assault by assisting with academic and living accommodations, providing the opportunity to pursue campus proceedings, and identifying campus and local resources. OSL coordinates the Campus Advocates who are faculty and staff trained to support a victim through the sexual assault reporting process, The Campus Advocates can be contacted 24/7 through OSL and Campus Safety Services when school is in session.
- Peer Judicial Boards: Selected students are trained and appointed to serve as hearing board members for lower level student conduct code cases. Members of the PJB are eligible to serve on the University Discipline Council to hear higher level cases after completing a minimum number of PJB cases and the applicable training.
