Supporting Your Westfield Experience

Student Affairs is here to support your experience at Westfield State—inside and outside the classroom. From getting involved and building connections to finding support and resources, we’re here to help you succeed, grow and feel a sense of belonging.

Student Affairs fosters the development of knowledge, skills, and values vital to students’ personal, professional and global success.

Consistent with our mission, Student Affairs activities, programs and services will assist students to: 

  • Be informed decision-makers
  • Understand, respect and appreciate diversity
  • Engage in and strengthen their communities
  • Embrace the importance of giving as volunteers and philanthropists
  • Develop and exhibit transferable lifelong career skills
  • Seek out resources for learning and living that enhance their overall well-being
  • Think critically, engaging in independent thought and action
  • Work constructively with others

Student Support & Conduct

The Office of the Dean of Students, Student Conduct, and the Behavioral Intervention Team are here to help students navigate challenges, connect with resources, and find the guidance and support they need.

Student Handbook

The Student Handbook provides you with your rights and responsibilities as a student as well as important information to help you make decisions about your academic and personal success. It is recommended that students should review the Handbook each year.
