The Dean of Students Office creates a culture of care for students, their families, and faculty and staff by providing exemplary programs and services designed to enhance students’ academic and personal success. We derive success plans and provide ongoing support for students in distress dealing with a variety of issues. We help students navigate complex University processes, such as withdrawals and petitions. We also serve to address a broad range of complaints either through directly assisting the student involved to resolve the issue, working with the student to contact the appropriate personnel, or referring the student to resources or offices that can directly address the issue. Follow-up is provided to the student until the situation is resolved.

Areas within the Dean of Students Office include Student Conduct, Advocacy and Mediation, CSUF Cares and Behavioral Intervention Team. Whether we are the first office students come to for assistance or the last place they think to call, our staff is here to help students be their best advocate and have a successful Titan experience.
