STUDENT AFFAIRS

Division of Student Affairs


The staff of the Division of Student Affairs welcomes you to Northern State University. Education is the product of the lived experience during which each becomes aware of, understands and evaluates life in its academic, intellectual, spiritual, social and communitarian context through the course offerings, leisure time pursuits, residential life, relationships and other student endeavors.

The Division of Student Affairs exists and functions as the organization committed to providing those services and experiences, which compliment and enhance the classroom, encounter and relate to the total education of the student.

Northern State's campus environment is a critical factor in your educational experience and your role in shaping the environment must be an active one. Northern State is committed to human dignity and the worth of every person. This means that Northern State supports those values which nourish the human respect needed for community members to live, work and study together which encourages students to engage in intellectual inquiry, critical thinking, aesthetic appreciation, respect for cultural differences and creative expression in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom. Honesty, integrity, responsibility and an abiding respect among members of the community are essential ingredients in the campus environment Northern State maintains. 

Through the course of this academic year, please be sure to use your abilities to their fullest, to expand and broaden your horizons, and to take the time to make good friends whose company and humor you can enjoy through your lifetime.

If you have questions regarding any aspect of student life, contact the office of Student Affairs, Student Center 201; (Phone) 605-626-2530, (Fax) 605-626-2531
