Division of Student Affairs

Welcome to the Division of Student Affairs

At Oakland University, your college experience is so much more than the courses you take — it’s the community you join, the people who support you and the opportunities that help you grow. The Division of Student Affairs is here to champion your success in every dimension of your life as a student.

Across our division, you’ll find a wide range of resources designed to help you thrive: student organizations where you can make connections and lead; health and counseling services that support your well-being; free tutoring and academic support to help you excel; immersive residential and dining experiences; workshops that strengthen your study skills; recreation and wellness programs that keep you energized; and so much more.

You may be wondering: Why should I get involved when my schedule is already full—with classes, work, family responsibilities, and everything else life brings? Because engagement outside the classroom isn’t “extra” — it’s essential. The experiences you choose here will deepen what you learn, connect you to people who care about your success, and build skills that last far beyond graduation. Students who participate in campus life consistently report feeling more supported, more confident and more prepared for whatever comes next.

No matter who you are or where you are on your journey, we invite you to explore, participate and make your OU experience truly your own. Student Affairs is your partner in creating a campus life that is meaningful, memorable, and uniquely yours. Let’s get started — your community is waiting for you.
