Student Services

Student Services brings together the University’s key support offices: the Office of Student Affairs, the Admission and Aid Office, Health Services, the Food Court and Commercial Spaces Office, and the University Libraries — each responsible for a distinct aspect of student life, from welfare and discipline to scholarships, healthcare, dining, and research resources.

Office of Student Affairs

The goal of the OSA is to help create and maintain a healthy and student-friendly campus and an academic community that fosters the social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and intellectual and leadership development of students so they can achieve the University’s key formation objectives based on the Vision and Mission of the University.

Services Offered

  • Lost and Found. OSA maintains a lost and found service for items misplaced on campus, regularly posting lists of unclaimed items and encouraging students to label their belongings; found items can be claimed at the OSA office, currently located at the Mezzanine Floor of Arrupe Hall.
  • Good Moral Certificate. OSA issues Certificates of Good Moral Character, a standard document required for enrollment, transfer to another school, employment, or scholarship applications, attesting to a student’s conduct record while at the University.
  • RFID Processing. OSA handles the issuance of the official Ateneo ID (RFID), including photo capture and signature during enrollment and the release of the printed ID; students report lost or damaged RFIDs to OSA for replacement.
  • Honorable Dismissal Clearance. For students transferring out of the University, OSA is part of the clearance process required before an Honorable Dismissal — the document certifying that a student has no pending obligations and left the University in good standing — can be released, typically alongside the Registrar’s Office.
  • Student Conduct and Discipline. OSA implements the disciplinary provisions of the Student Handbook, receiving reports of policy violations (including referrals from other offices such as the Library), conducting the corresponding process, and recording violations, which students can now also track through the university’s MyAdDU app.
  • Student Assistant Applications. OSA facilitates the application and contract-signing process for the Student Assistant Program, coordinating with the offices requesting assistants, the Scholarship Program coordinator who interviews and recommends applicants, and monitoring academic performance for contract renewal each term.
