The University of Texas at Arlington

The Student Affairs Division of The University of Texas at Arlington is dedicated to providing the opportunity for students to develop an appreciation of the goals and objectives of the University, an understanding of their own needs and values, and the relationship of their needs and values to those of the several communities of which they are a part. Student Affairs is committed to cooperating with other divisions of the University to create an educational environment where both the values and the interdependence of various cultures may be understood and appreciated. Student Affairs recognizes the uniqueness of each student and provides diverse services to assist students in developing their individual skills so that they can make a constructive contribution to the quality of life, both now and in the future. Central to this mission is a concern for helping students recognize that they have the freedom to choose among alternatives, and they must assume responsibility for their choices.



Student Affairs assumes two broad roles with regard to the University's mission. Student Affairs (1) provides essential aspects of the University's infrastructure that support the teaching, research and service mission, and (2) through a wide range of programs and services, Student Affairs promotes student development (i.e., social, physical, intellectual, career, emotional, moral), student welfare, and student recruitment and retention.

Student Affairs is responsible for budget development/financial management, human resource management, equipment and overall planning, implementation and evaluation.
