About Us "We serve those who serve our students"

The DSA Business Services department processes all financial and human resource/payroll transactions for each of the departments and programs housed within the Division of Student Affairs. The division’s business services department is comprised of 4 unique teams which are housed within the respective areas they serve in order to actively support those assigned departments. While most of our daily operations involve behind-the-scenes transactional work, our work is nonetheless an integral component of the work the division’s departments provide to our student population. Check out our “Contact Us” page for more information on how our teams are made up.
