Claremont McKenna College

The Dean of Students Office is the department within Student Affairs that oversees most aspects of a student's life outside of class, including Residential Life, New Student Programs (such as Orientation and WOA), Student Activities, Academic Success, the discipline process, and coordination of the College's response to crisis situations involving students. As student advocates, the Dean of Students team provides a variety of services and extracurricular programs, as well as being available for one-on-one support and assistance.

Claremont McKenna College has 14 residence halls and one student apartment complex. There are no “freshman dorms” at CMC; all residence halls are composed of students from various class years. Each residence hall and the student apartments have a Resident Assistant (RA) who acts as a liaison between students and the Dean of Students Office and helps to facilitate dorm life. Each RA is trained in first aid, CPR, counseling skills, and emergency situation protocol.

The Claremont Colleges Library supports the seven institutions comprising The Claremont Colleges consortium and is organized into five divisions plus the Dean’s office which includes Organizational Planning and Assessment.

Information Technology Services supports technology services for the students of Claremont McKenna College. In all that we do, we strive to provide students with the best educational technology and support possible.

Student Health Services (SHS) is usually the first line of defense. SHS is an outpatient primary care provider that services the entire CUC student community. Located at the Tranquada Student Services Center at 757 College Way, it’s open Monday through Friday and is appointment based. There is no charge for appointments and nominal fees apply for labs, X-rays, immunizations/dispensary medications.
