Greeting

The Office of Student Affairs has many functions. It ensures that students are properly registered for all basic science courses and clinical clerkships and electives. It maintains the academic records of all students and serves as a reference source for inquiries from future employers and licensing agencies. Staff members plan many of the major student activities such as orientation programs for all classes, Family and Friends Day for First Year Students, Match Day, the Honors Convocation, the White Coat Ceremony, and Commencement. Perhaps the most important function of the office is assisting students in negotiating the residency and match application process and in deciding upon their future area of specialization. All members of the Office of Student Affairs are firmly committed to ensuring that students feel like valued members of an extended family. Our office exists precisely to be of service to you, and we welcome every opportunity to assist you in your career progression and professional development.

About

The Office of Student Affairs and Registration acts as a branch of the University’s Office of the Registrar. This office assists students with any requests they might make to the Office of the University Registrar or the Office of Student Services located on the main campus.

Services include student registration, drop/add, verification of enrollment, completion of loan deferment forms, good student driver forms, change of address forms, requests for official transcripts, degree applications, and health insurance forms. When in doubt where to submit a request of any kind, check with the Office of Student Affairs and Registration first. We may be able to save you a trip “up the hill” to the main campus.

The Office of Student Affairs and Registration strives to create a comfort zone for students. The staff is pleased to aid and support students whenever possible. There is a computer and telephone/fax located in the office for student use, chairs and desk for writing or reading that quick note, and brochures of interest. We are also pleased to announce the return of the ever-popular candy dish to provide that little comfort treat!
