Educating the spirit is as important as educating the mind. A professional staff of eight men and women, ordained and lay, plus a part-time team of professional hall chaplains are available to meet with students to discuss interests, help with prayer, or be a companion as they work to discover life directions and purpose. An ID card is required to check out books from the library, use athletic facilities and the Learning Center, and cash checks at the Business Office. The SCS newsletter, Update, is published periodically during the year. It is sent to students' local addresses and is available in the SCS office.
Update contains important information for all currently enrolled students.
A new student orientation program is held on the St. Paul campus prior to the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. The program provides an opportunity to meet other new students and includes an introduction to the university's academic and support resources, using the university library and its resources, a campus tour, receiving student ID cards, and purchasing textbooks. The SCS Student Advisory Council, composed of current students and an SCS staff representative, meets regularly throughout the academic year to provide a forum for students and administrators to review programs and services.
