What does the Student Affairs Office do in the university?

The student office of the university sounds like it has to take care of all student-related business, but in fact it is not the case. Let me give you an overview of the business of the student office of our school:

1. Students’ ideological and political education. There are some yishi content in Shangfeng that need to be known to college students or instilled in students, such as socialist education, citizen moral construction, socialist core values, etc., all of which require students to communicate online and offline. Communicate the combined methods to students and organize corresponding activities to complete similar tasks.

2. Team building of counselors. Don't think of my country's "infrastructure mania" when you hear construction. Construction here is a conventional term, which actually refers to a series of tasks such as the selection, assessment, and career planning (position, professional title, rank) of counselors. . Usually the Human Resources Department also manages counselors (this sentence is nonsense... the Human Resources Department manages everyone...), but the "business guidance" of counselors' work is usually assigned to the Student Affairs Office.

3. Daily management and safety regulations of students. For example, students' requests for leave cancellation (usually beyond the time limit of the department's leave approval authority), students' overseas exchanges (this is mainly for filing, and the business aspects are handled by the foreign affairs department), and changes in student status (still mainly for filing, and the business aspects are handled by the Academic Affairs Department) processing), student ID card and school badge management, basic student data statistics, train ticket discount cards, education management of minority students, safe and standardized education during holidays, etc.

4. Evaluation and distribution of student scholarships and bursaries. This is the most popular part among students and the most likely to cause disagreements. Usually divided into on-campus scholarships and external scholarships. However, it should be noted that the Student Evaluation Office is usually only responsible for controlling the general direction and evaluation conditions at a macro level. The specific selection details are completed by each department and handed over to the Student Office, and the Student Office summarizes and reports to the school.

5. Student mental health education. In recent years, there have been more and more mental health problems among college students, and attention to students' mental health has been put on the agenda. This part is also one of the daily operations of the Student Affairs Office. There are usually some full-time and part-time teachers providing free psychological counseling services to students, and emergency intervention for students in crisis.

6. Student employment and entrepreneurship. Employment is the greatest livelihood of the people, and since the slogan of "mass entrepreneurship, mass innovation" was shouted, "entrepreneurship to create employment" for college students has also become a new starting point to solve the employment difficulties of college students.

In terms of employment, contact employers to come to school for recruitment, release various recruitment information inside and outside the school, provide various employment guidance to fresh graduates, contact superior departments to obtain policy support, etc.;

Entrepreneurship In terms of aspects, it promotes the integration of industry, academia and research to incubate entrepreneurial projects, and promotes the implementation of high-quality projects in entrepreneurial competitions.

The above is the general business scope of the Student Affairs Office of our school.

It should also be noted that the situation of each university is different, and the division of business is also different. For example, some universities have special psychological centers, employment and entrepreneurship centers for mental health, employment and entrepreneurship and other businesses (also It is a separate division-level department) and has no affiliation with the Student Affairs Office; in some schools, admissions and student status are also placed in the Student Affairs Office (our school is in the Academic Affairs Office); in some schools, the work related to the *** Youth League is also in the Student Affairs Office. It is under the Student Office (the Youth League Committee of our school is organized separately); in some schools, apartment management, military training and other business are also under the Student Office (our school belongs to the Logistics Group and the Armed Forces Department respectively).
