The Office of the Dean of Students is dedicated to providing educational and developmental opportunities for students to make informed decisions that support their success at Oregon State University. Learn how the office can help you navigate university resources, get assistance communicating with faculty about emergencies and understand your rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The Office of the Dean of Students houses a number of student-centered services and departments, including the Academic Success Center, the Human Services Resource Center and the Office of Student Orientation. 

The Center for Advancing Financial Education (CAFE) invites all Oregon State students seeking support for anything related to their college finances (such as information on financial resources, ways to save, budgeting and financial planning) to take advantage of our services. The center offers one-on-one advising, financial literacy courses, workshops and self-study Canvas modules. Visit our website or email [email protected] for additional information. 

Many students face difficult times during college — unexpected life events, personal crises, mental health struggles, and academic difficulties are examples of challenges that can interfere with college success. Student Care is designed to help students learn and understand OSU policies and procedures, problem solve within the university community and access referrals for personal matters or emergencies.

Happiness and the pursuit there of are a constant source of conversation and intrigue. This short course available in Canvas uses theories within positive psychology, flourishing and mindfulness literature. There are four modules, focusing on mental health and well-being; purposeful or career well-being; mindset and personal strengths; and mindfulness meditation.
