Faculty-Staff Partnerships

Our common goal as educators is to offer transformative, educational, and experiential learning experiences to our students. Despite our university's historic success, we all understand that there is much to be done for current and future student cohorts. We believe that it this requires collaboration across the university, especially among faculty and Division of Student Affairs staff. 

Faculty-Staff Partnership Goals

• Increase student persistence through the development, implementation and expansion of proven student success interventions.
• Just, Equitable, and Inclusive practices
• Collaborate with partners to implement Strategic Enrollment Management model to meet university goals and best serve student needs. 
• Partner to create a campus climate that promotes identity exploration, belonging and cultural competencies.

Maintaining Academic and Campus Integrity

Student Conduct is responsible for investigating and adjudicating alleged campus policy violations for both academic-related misconduct and other types of misconduct. This includes reviewing reports of misconduct, ensuring that students receive due process and fair treatment, and assigning outcomes that support student learning and reinforce campus community standards of behavior. Student Conduct is also responsible for maintaining all students’ disciplinary records for the campus.

Student Conduct supports faculty and staff by providing guidance on addressing student behavior through consultations, educational workshops, training, and campus policy interpretation. For more faculty and staff resources, please visit the  Student Conduct website.

If you would like to report a policy violation, please complete the appropriate online referral form.

Health and Wellness

The clinical needs of students range from normative developmental changes to more serious emerging or on-going mental health concerns; from a disrupting life event to a life-threatening crisis; or from supportive counseling and psychoeducation to ongoing psychotherapy. The department's licensed clinical staff is specifically trained in college student mental health therapeutic approaches and committed to providing professional services that meet the specific needs of undergraduate and graduate students. In order to best support the health and wellness of students, faculty, and staff, the  Counseling and Psychological Services  (CAPS) department is in place and we encourage you to use it. Our CAPS team provides a variety of clinical services designed to meet the many different concerns experienced by CSUF students.

CAPS takes pride in being an agency that operates from multicultural, multidisciplinary, and multi-theoretical perspectives. Moreover, CAPS clinical staff and trainees represent a wide range of individual and social identities and experiences; are a combination of Licensed Psychologists, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors, Certified Life Coach, Board Certified Psychiatrist, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and Licensed Clinical Social Workers; and have training in numerous treatment modalities and theoretical perspectives. This rich diversity in people and practice provides opportunities for CSUF students to connect with a clinician and receive treatment in a manner that is a fit for both the person and their clinical need.
