Santa Clara University

About Us

Student Life supports the mission of the University and plays a significant role in educating the whole student in preparation for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and service in a diverse and global society.  Through the promotion of health, leadership, and community, Student Life encourages students to exercise good judgment in preparation for life at and beyond SCU. The programs and services offered foster the integration of student learning with personal development, personal responsibility, and the advancement of a healthy campus community.

Each of the members of this campus community is asked to live by a set of Community Standards, Community Values, and Standards of Responsibilities and Conduct.

The Jesuit advantage at Santa Clara University is the benefit that comes from connecting every aspect of your University education to create a total learning and integrated experience. It is of utmost importance that you take personal responsibility in seeking out meaningful ways to connect to your fellow student, local community, and the global society. Student Life is committed to making such avenues available to you.
