Student Services

The focus of the Division of Student Services is the facilitation of learning outside the classroom for building a community in which students are encouraged to be responsible citizens.

In order for a University such as Oakwood to function effectively, policies, rules, codes, standards, procedures, services, and resources must be developed. Academic policies set forth Oakwood University’s expectations for student achievement and performance and student codes establish the basic behavioral expectations for students. Throughout America, these codes have become increasingly detailed over the years. However, some colleges and universities have established only basic standards of decency and behavior, allowing the designated judicial body to determine whether a general standard has been violated. In this handbook, we have tried to balance the demand for specificity with the need to maintain flexibility and adaptability. This handbook seeks to explain those policies, codes, and procedures (etc) that are most likely to impact you. Therefore, you should carefully read it and govern yourself accordingly.

Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, who does not stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. Blessed is the person who delights in the law of the LORD and meditates on it day and night. That person shall be like a tree planted beside the rivers of water, a tree that will bring forth fruit in its season and whose leaves will not wither. Whatever such a person does will prosper (Psalm 1:1-3 paraphrased).

We pray that you will have a “prosperous” year.
