Co-curricular & Student Life Experiences

The Office of Dean of Students (ODOS) believes that who you become at university matters as much as what you achieve. Guided by a mission to foster distinctly human capabilities — the leadership, creativity, collaboration, judgment and empathy that no AI can replicate — ODOS brings together co-curricular experiences, student life, and holistic support to help you grow into the fullest version of yourself.​

Community Service

Connect with causes that matter, serve communities near and far, and discover the leader you are becoming along the way.

Student Life​

From over 150 student clubs and societies to meaningful leadership opportunities, build a university life that reflects who you are.​

Student Success​

Equip yourself with the skills, confidence, and experiences that turn university years into a launchpad for life.​

Student Services & Support​

From administrative and financial essentials with the Student Services Hub to support through harassment, discrimination, or bullying with Vocies@SMU, help is always close.

Student Wellness

Your well-being matters to us — whether you're managing stress, adjusting to new demands, or simply need someone to talk to, our dedicated team is here for you. ​

Student Conduct​

SMU holds its students to a high standard of responsible citizenship — upholding the University's codes, policies, and guidelines while conducting themselves with integrity in every pursuit.
