Jackson State University’s Dean of Students Office plays a vital role in supporting the University’s motto, “Challenging Minds, Changing Lives.” We uphold standards of student conduct and academic integrity through a fair and objective process. The policies and procedures for student conduct, outlined in the Student Handbook, apply to all students, regardless of classification.

The Dean of Students Office advances the University’s mission by promoting quality education, research, and service to diverse student populations. We help students develop as ethical, technologically-savvy, and globally-minded leaders who think critically, solve problems, and make meaningful contributions to society.
