University of Oklahoma students are guaranteed certain rights by the constitutions of the United States and the State of Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma Student Government Association. The Student Rights and Responsibilities Code of Conduct and Procedures outline what students can expect.
Unfortunately we must face, all too often, the death of one of our OU students. Student Affairs coordinates university business, department notification(s) and communication with the family (when needed) when such a tragedy occurs.
Student Affairs’ involvement will of course, not preclude the involvement of the college or department with the student’s family and/or services. It will be important for anyone who has had a connection to the student to offer their condolences and assistance.

If you would like to report by phone, call the office at (405) 325-3161.
Programs and events under the Division are designed and presented with purpose. Assessment is critical in maintaining the direction of activities and their correlation to our mission and goals.
