Purpose and Responsibilities

The mission of Shasta College Student Services is to provide comprehensive high quality programs, services, and guidance which contribute to the success of our students and empower them to make informed decisions to facilitate their learning and achieve their goals.

  • Recommend and advise on long-range and short-term plans for the Student Services division;
  • Review, recommend, and act upon policies and procedures that affect student services, student success, and student interests as they pertain to the campus and the District;
  • Identify campus student services issues and develop policy initiatives and proposals for consideration by the College Council; and
