At Nexus, we are committed to each student’s success. We pride ourselves on building a permanent and close connection with our students by caring for the individual needs of students and not only their needs as students. Our Student Services department advances student development and learning, fosters community engagement, promotes diversity, inclusion and respect, and empowers students to thrive. Student Services also promotes activities where students are able to share their knowledge and obtain genuine professional experiences in the community.
The Student Services team has many ways to help students navigate university life and, when necessary, also acts as a liaison between the student and the Academic Department, ensuring inquiries are resolved and that students are well positioned to succeed. Student Services also handles such matters as complaints, and appeals.
We believe our students have the fundamental right to:
- Personal and Intellectual liberty
- Mutual Respect
- Quality Education
- A learning environment free from discrimination, harassment, or any form of hazing
