Shared Services
About Us
Within the Division of Student Affairs there are eight departments designated as Shared Services. These centralized departments were established to ensure consistent and efficient use of resources to support the overall mission and operations of the division. They understand and advocate for the unique needs of the division and its departments while implementing and upholding campus and system-wide policies and guidance.

What we do
- Bring operational expertise to create structures, resources and compliant solutions for consistency and efficiency, allowing student- and campus-serving departments to focus on their missions.
- Support the division’s strategic and fiscally responsible management of resources to ensure we can provide the best services, programs and facilities to enhance student success and retention.
- Serve as liaisons to central campus units outside of the division to incorporate and build on-campus and system guidelines and ensure the work of the division aligns with broader campus efforts, while advocating on behalf of the unique needs and operations of the division.
- Provide assessment, guidance, skill development and services to enhance operations of departments within the division.
While some Shared Services departments may also provide direct services to students and the campus community, our primary focus is to support departments and staff within the division.
