STUDENT AFFAIRS I 29
STUDENT AFFAIRS
Student Affairs provides an organized administration of educational services designed to
support the instructional program. These services include student activities, counseling,
advising services, testing, the Educational Opportunity Program, financial aids, foreign
student assistance, housing, and placement services. The program also provides students
with nonclassroom experiences which are primarily of an educational nature, such as general
orientation to the university, cultural enrichment, and tutorial projects. The program and
individual services are described in more detail in the following sections of this catalog.
Administrative responsibility for these functions rests with the Dean of Student Affairs.
STUDENT LIFE
A committee on student affairs composed of faculty and students evaluates the student life
program and makes recommendations on policy and procedure. Regulations as to
satisfactory scholarship, disqualification for unsatisfactory work and related questions
bearing upon academic requirements are administered by appropriate bodies in accordance
with university policies. A student court has authority to deal with cases involving
interpretation of Association bylaws. University students are expected to assume
responsibility for their personal conduct. Wide freedom is therefore granted by the
university to students as individuals and as organized groups.
STUDENT LEADERSHIP
Membership and active participation in a reasonable number of student organizations are
strongly recommended. Student groups of this type are an excellent means of obtaining
experience in leadership, group action and social competence. Participation in student
government is also encouraged. Many opportunities exist for participation in student affairs
through election to student body and class offices, appointment to student committees, and
attendance at meetings of the Student Senate. Students are also offered an opportunity to
serve on many faculty committees and on the boards of the Fresno State College Association,
Inc. These groups play an active part in recommending university policies and in conducting
the affairs of the Association.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Over 100 student organizations representing various fields of social, academic, vocational,
and professional interests have been granted recognition. Eight national social fraternities
and six national social sororities exist on the campus and operate group-living units. Religious
interests are served by religious centers adjacent to the campus. These many and varied
types of organizations not only offer an opportunity for social life but also make a positive
contribution to the development of student leadership. Information regarding existing
organizations or the formation of new ones may be obtained from the Student Affairs Office.
Recognition Societies
In addition to high standards of scholarship expected of all students, special recognition
is given to superior scholarship. The honor society of Phi Kappa Phi, a national scholarship
organization, was established at CSU, Fresno in 1953. Most departments of the university
sponsor honor societies, many of them national in scope, in which membership is based upon
superior scholarship. The Blue Key National Honor Fraternity for men and women offers
membership to students who have good scholarship, are prominent in university activities,
and who have demonstrated leadership in student affairs.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Students are expected to observe university regulations and are held responsible for their
personal behavior on the campus and in university-related activities. Sections 41301-41304
in Article 1, Subchapter 3, Chapter 1, Part V of Title 5 of the Cahform'a Administrative Code
and Section 22505 of the California Education Code delineate the types of conduct that are
unacceptable. In addition, local rules and policies have been developed to cover certain
situations such as the residence halls. University, Trustee, and State regulations governing
student conduct are described in the student handbook, Survival Kit, the Handbook for
