34 Southeastern Oklahoma State University
Student Services and Activities
The University maintains several offices that provide assistance
for students in a broad range of activities and services.
Most student services are administered through the Student
Affairs Division. These offices provide advocacy for the individual
student, promote diversity, responsible citizenship and
student achievement. The Division of Student Affairs cultivates
a student-centered, holistic environment which fosters personal
growth, a sense of community, and learning through both curricular
and co-curricular experiences. The Dean of Students’
Office is concerned with and directly involved in the matter
of student conduct. The on-line Student Handbook sets forth
the various regulations on student conduct as adopted by the
Regional University System of Oklahoma’s (RUSO) Board of
Regents. It is the responsibility of the Office of the Dean of
Students to administer these regulations. Another important
service is provided by the Career Management Center which
assists all students in career decision-making and access to oncampus
student work, internships and professional employment
after graduation. The Counseling Center offers assistance in
the form of counseling, screenings, wellness, etc. The Student
Health Services Center addresses the medical and wellness
needs of students. Multicultural Student Services are provided
through the Office of Student Life. They provide assistance
to all ethnic populations, including international students. The
Office for Student Life provides students with co-curricular
activities to enhance their collegiate experience. The Office of
Residence Life provides a comprehensive living and learning
environment for on-campus resident students.
Specialized services administered by the offices of Financial
Aid, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Business Office are
discussed in the chapter, Student Costs and Financial Aid.
STUDENT ADVISEMENT
Upon completion of the admission process, the Academic
Advising and Outreach Center or Student Support Services will
assist new students in establishing a schedule that maximizes
the opportunities for success. Professional advisors will assist
students in understanding specific course and degree requirements,
explore interests, explain university services and help
establish a plan to reach short-term and long-term goals. Students
with disabilities should work directly with Student Support
Services in order to determine the needs of the students within
the guidelines of Americans with Disabilities Act. Music majors
need to begin their advisement with the Department of Music.
Each semester a student must receive academic advisement
before enrolling in the next semester. An “advisement
hold” is placed on student enrollment every semester and this
must be removed by a faculty or professional advisor before
the student is allowed to enroll. It is highly suggested that students
schedule an appointment with their advisor early in the
enrollment period in order to give themselves the best chance
at securing the courses they need.
DEAN OF STUDENTS’ OFFICE
The Dean of Students’ Office provides information, policy
interpretation, and adjustment of students’ rights; handles disciplinary
and social adjustment problems; and assists in the
coordination of orientation and retention programs. Staff members
are available for general counseling, campus information,
assistance with special problems, and help with many phases
of campus life. The Dean’s Office will either assist students
with a particular problem or will direct them to the appropriate
location for a solution. The Dean of Students is located in the
Glen D. Johnson Student Union or online at http://homepages.

COUNSELING CENTER
The Counseling Center offers programming and support in
addressing a variety of issues. Therapeutic services provided
include screenings, counseling, interventions, consultations,
and referrals regarding substance abuse, trauma recovery,
eating disorders, mood disorders, and relationship problems
which could ultimately impact academic performance. In addition,
the Counseling Center provides informational, educational,
and awareness/prevention programs addressing health and
wellness issues. Students may seek counseling on their own
initiative or be referred to counseling by faculty/staff members,
Student Affairs personnel, and/or other interested persons. Two
full-time counselors are available for student assistance. Access

other events. The CMC works with other university career
centers and Workforce offices in both Oklahoma and Texas
(and other states) to provide job search assistance for students/
