Welcome to the Division of Student Affairs (DSA)

SPU is entering an exciting new strategic phase for 2025 – 2029. This strategy builds on the lessons of 2020 – 2024 to guide the University’s future, embedding flexibility and responsiveness to the evolving socio-economic and educational landscape. It emphasises innovation, inclusivity, and a continued commitment to community and scholarly engagement. With clear goals focused on academic excellence, community integration, and a robust research environment, the plan includes key metrics such as increased research output, enhanced student centricity, and strengthened infrastructural foundations.

The Division of Student Affairs is anchored by a student-centric engagement framework that supports SPU’s Student Success Strategy and operationalises an intentional approach to student engagement. This framework guides the Division of Student Affairs and Services’ operations, ensuring students have access to the tools and support they need to thrive.

Grounded in research and positive psychology, SPU views student engagement as essential to retention, learning, persistence, performance, and success. By supporting students’ academic, emotional, and social growth, we are committed to helping every student realise their potential.

Welcome to #MySPU – your best choice for academic excellence, personal growth, and your start to a brighter future!

Ms Nicole Morris – Dean of Student Affairs
