About the Student Administration Services

The suite of services that the SAS unit delivers are crucial to the student experience. These services act as the scaffold around the learning experience. In a world of increasing choices and options for students, service excellence is non-negotiable. In SAS, we understand that improving the student experience requires a holistic, one team approach.

The SAS team also likes to have fun and we celebrate our successes. Although spread across colleges and campuses, we take time to come together and build relationships across teams.

We make administration fun!
