OSA Mission Statement

Serving the largest and most diverse student population of International and Public Affairs schools, the Office of Student Affairs at SIPA provides programs and services that enhance the student experience in and out of the classroom.  We do this through our orientation of new students, academic advising and registration services, student life programming, degree certification and graduation exercises.  From admission through graduation, we are committed to guiding our students through any academic or personal challenges relating to their tenure at SIPA.

Student Affairs provides a broad array of important services for current students at SIPA. The deans and staff of Student Affairs take great pride and care in overseeing your entire SIPA experience. The online resources are your link for staying informed about current academic news, reviewing policies and procedures, and downloading frequently used forms. The information provided through our office will be a constant point of reference and will ensure that your experience at SIPA is a positive one. We encourage you to refer to the Academic Calendar to plan your life at SIPA.
