College Community
Student Affairs
The staff in the Student Affairs Division focus on developing an engaging community, supporting student success, and engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Our Mustang community is representative of many ages, backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.
A wide range of activities and services for all students complement and enhance the educational experience. The following Departments are all key parts of the Student Affairs Division: Athletics & Intramurals; Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion; the Health Center; Residence Life; Student Activities; Student Rights & Responsibilities; Title IX; and University Police.
Athletics & Intramurals
Athletics at SUNY Morrisville are as much a part of college as academics. We believe the total college experience should be a balance of activities both in and out of the classroom. We offer the opportunity for students to get involved in a variety of intercollegiate and intramural activities.
Morrisville is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III and administers 17 intercollegiate athletic teams.
The student-athletes who wear green and white for the Morrisville Mustangs are part of a proud tradition of team competition and enjoy a school spirit that fosters a dedicated following, and an equal commitment to a tradition of academic and athletic excellence.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The staff of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is dedicated to creating and supporting an environment that promotes diversity in all forms. The college carries out this initiative through international coffee hours, cultural fairs, International Education Week activities, student clubs and organizations, and much more.
Each year the Sheila Johnson Institute (SJI) awards grants to faculty and staff that fund opportunities for students who promote leadership and diversity. SJI also provides matching funds for the Empire State Diversity Honors Scholarship Program, CSTEP, STEP, and EOP, all of which benefit students from historically underrepresented backgrounds.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) promotes a campus climate where community members feel safe and secure in their environment to engage in their academic program of study and socialize in a safe and responsible manner.
The OSRR is responsible for communicating the College's behavioral expectation via enforcement of the Student Code of Conduct and other college policies. This is accomplished through the judicial system that is educational and progressive, as it seeks to educate students about the consequences of their behavior by holding them accountable for the choices they make. It is progressive in sanctioning in that students who continue to make poor choices and violate the Student Code of Conduct or College policies, regardless of severity, are held accountable and may be removed from the College community, if deemed necessary.
OSRR goals:
- To address student misconduct through a multi-partial, educational, judicial system.
- To promote a positive, safe, and civil campus climate.
- To treat students in a fair and respectful manner.
- To educate the campus community on the Student Code of Conduct, judicial processes, and restorative justice processes.

Residence Life at SUNY Morrisville provides a comfortable living environment with a range of resident halls including double rooms, suites, apartments with full kitchens, single rooms and quiet-study halls. Residence halls provide an opportunity for autonomy and affiliation in a supportive environment and serve as centers for organized social, cultural and educational activities.

The Student Activities Office offers students the opportunity to enhance or start their Co-Curricular Transcript (CCT). Students that participate in worthwhile campus or off-campus activities may complete a CCT that can serve as a valuable supplement to your college transcript for scholarships, awards, and future job searches. The CCT is an official record that is verified by either an advisor or supervisor listing the various developmental activities outside the classroom. Activities that can be put on your CCT are leadership development, professional and educational development, awards, honors and recognitions, student organizations, club and activity participation, community service, intercollegiate athletics and peer advising.

The Student Government Organization (SGO) is an integral part of Student Activities at SUNY Morrisville, serving the entire student body. SGO’s goals are to promote the general welfare of the student body, to stimulate interest in and support activities contributing to cultural, social, educational and physical improvement, and to establish a just college community.
