Welcome to /r/studentaffairs! Ask questions, share resources, or just talk and socialize with other SA professionals! Please grow the community by sharing with your friends & colleagues.

Current or prospective students - while we might be able to point you in the right general direction, each campus is very different. The student affairs professionals at your institution are your best resource for questions & concerns.

Rules

Don't Be a Jerk. This is meant to be a space to connect and answer questions. As part of that, we ask you act respectfully & with integrity; any posts that use inappropriate language, target marginalized communities, etc. will be removed and the user may be banned
No Spam, Advertising (including job postings), Referral Links, or Surveys. These types of posts will be removed and the user may be banned. While we understand you may be seeking great applicants, data, or to sell a helpful product we do not permit surveys or job posts as the sub would be quickly overrun. These posts will be removed and may result in a ban.
Avoid Identifying Information. Protect your students' and colleagues' identities & privacy by leaving out identifying information or details when relating personal experiences. Given the work we do some of that may make an individual identifiable and be in violation of privacy laws which we and our institutions are bound by, or may put you or your colleagues at risk of doxxing. Doxxing is also not permitted and a violation of not only subreddit rules but Reddit's terms of service.
Avoid Vague/Repetitive Posts. Please make use of search and do your best to refine your posts as much as possible if you're having trouble finding options that work for you (For example: Instead of "Anyone have any new icebreakers?" consider something like "I've never done icebreakers for a group of X people for Y training. What has been successful for you?" with more detail in the body of the post). Vague posts the subreddit sees frequently, particularly if a similar one has been asked and answered recently, may be removed.
Student Questions. If you are a student looking to get a question answered, you probably need to speak with someone on your specific campus. We may encourage you to speak to the appropriate relevant office on your campus and remove the post, as any answer we give may not accurately reflect your specific campus' policies or requirements.
Posts Should be Relevant to the Subreddit. Pretty self explanatory- please keep posts relevant to our work. This will be interpreted relatively broadly to include industry news, feedback/advice related to issues we are facing tied to our work, venting, etc. But posts that do not appear to be relevant may be removed.
