The Division of Student Affairs is responsible for that part of the student’s total educational experience which takes place outside the formal classroom program. Among its concerns are student center, student activities, student health, recreation, student organizations, programs, disciplinary actions, educational accessibility and disability resources, university leadership center, counseling and wellness, and housing and dining. Through such activities as the Student Government Association, the students are given a responsible voice in the governance of the University.

(See Student Handbook, The Lowdown https://www.southalabama.edu/lowdown/).

Students also participate as members of some University-wide committees as well as on committees within the colleges of the University.
