Student Life
Student learning doesn’t only happen in a classroom! Opportunities for learning and development exist everywhere on campus and throughout your life as a student.
You are Welcome Here.
Be Bold and Benedictine!
Our Student Affairs team plays a critical role in your learning experience at St. Scholastica. We will guide and support you outside the classroom learning to ensure you thrive. We’re committed to enrich and deepen your lifetime journey of growth and self-exploration.
Grounded in our Catholic Benedictine heritage, our mission is to support student persistence to graduation and prepare graduates for responsible living and meaningful work. Guided by our values, our goal is to foster an inclusive and mutually respectful environment for our community and create transformational learning opportunities which advance holistic growth, intercultural competence and an understanding of responsibility to the community.
Student Activities
Community is important at St. Scholastica. In fact, it’s one of our guiding values. Each year St. Scholastica hosts over 400 on-campus events and every day our students are making memories that will last a lifetime.
Develop your personal, vocational and social development through diverse clubs, organizations, leadership opportunities and co-curricular activities. Get connected, identify others who share similar interests or step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
Need a break from studying? Participate in an activity, hang out with friends or meet at The Port for fun and snacks — we have something for everyone!

Clubs and Organizations
Get involved with one or many of our student clubs and organizations. We have everything from student senate and political groups to sports and clubs, social justice and service groups, spiritual and ministry opportunities or focus on your academic and career possibilities. These groups foster self-confidence, create new friendships and develop leadership skills.
There’s so much to do at St. Scholastica both on- and off-campus, whether indoors or outside.
Saints Leadership Program
Are you interested in leadership development? Prepare yourself to serve the communities in which you live and make a lasting difference in the lives of others. Develop and grow your skills through our Saints Leadership program, which focuses on four areas: individual or internal, relationship or interpersonal, community and societal or systemic change. Each is grounded in one of the different areas of leadership, based on the socio-ecological model for change.
If a student successfully completes all the tracks by April 15, prior to their graduation, they will be able to graduate with Saints Leadership Honors.
Student Government Association
Our mission is to represent students’ priorities and facilitate and advocate for effective student leader training. As student representatives, we serve to get your voices heard and we act as liaisons to the College’s faculty, staff and administration.
Academic Advising
Each student is assigned an academic advisor to help them plan their education path, develop their schedule and support them throughout their undergraduate time at St. Scholastica.
Academic Support
St. Scholastica provides an array of services to help students achieve academic success. We teach skills, develop strategies and focus on students achieving their goals.
