Students

The Office of Student Activity and Leadership Development (OSALD) is a department dedicated to providing programs and outlets to the students, while simultaneously connecting the students to one another through academic, recreational, cultural and social functions. This department promotes leadership and encourages diversity. Each student is encouraged to participate in areas that best fit their interest in an effort to give back to the community, as well as to learn and acquire attributes that will positively impact their future as they navigate in the world.

Part of the college experience is each student’s living arrangements. Many students choose to live on campus and find the experience quite rewarding. Living on campus provides students with the opportunity to become involved with campus life, being better acquainted with fellow students, and the ability to enjoy their overall college experience. If the student is considering living on campus, he or she must be accepted to the university before a residential application can be processed. Once the student is accepted into the university, he or she may then apply to student housing. Once the application is accepted, a nominal, refundable security fee is required. In order to be accepted into student housing the student must be in good judicial and academic standing.
