Student Affairs. The Division of Student Affairs at California State University, Fresno provides a full array of services and programs that support student success at the university. Services are designed to encourage student development and to enable students to realize their academic, personal, and career goals.

We care about our students and know that they learn and develop as a result of their experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. As a result, we take extra care in ensuring that the university not only has excellent curricular offerings, but also excellent co-curricular activities and student services. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students provides leadership and support to the many programs and offices in the division. They are as follows:

Dispute Resolution. A student-related dispute could arise out of a decision or action in the course of official duty by a member of the faculty, staff, or administration of California State University, Fresno. The decision or action could be alleged as discriminatory, contrary to accepted academic relationships and procedures, or restrictive of the rights of any student of the university to fair treatment. The purpose of the dispute resolution process is to provide a mechanism for students to have a third party review the situation.

The student must first make a good faith effort to resolve the matter informally by talking directly with the individual concerned, the individual's direct supervisor or department chair, and the director of the unit or college/school dean. If resolution is not effected through the informal procedures, for assistance students should contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students.

Student Absences. Students are expected to attend class and should maintain contact with their faculty members regarding any absences. Individual faculty members should be contacted when there are extended absences (more than one week) due to illness, death in the immediate family, or other situations. In urgent or extraordinary emergencies that preclude direct contact with individual faculty, students may contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at 559.278.2541. Any make-up work or missed assignments remain the responsibility of the student.
