Welcome to Student Affairs
Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley has a great deal to offer both prospective and current students. The Student Affairs Office seeks to enhance the academic and social experience of all students by serving as a resource and advocate on a variety of important matters such as enrollment and course registration, student accounts, international student services, involvement with local professional and networking associations, and other related activities. The office also guides students toward information and resources pertaining to technology, bicoastal programs, and health and wellness issues. Information on community and social events, including tours of Silicon Valley and excursions to nearby San Francisco, is also available.
The Student Affairs Office also organizes and hosts major on-campus events such as Orientation, The Gathering, and Graduation. In addition, the office facilitates student performance reviews, course surveys, and participates in the 'Improve the Student Experience' task force.
The Student Affairs Office is open from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday through Thursday and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Friday to accommodate the busy schedules of both our full-time and part-time working students. Feel free to contact the Student Affairs staff with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

Enrollment and Course Registration
Each newly admitted student will be assigned an Andrew User ID and Student ID number. This information will be given to you by Student Affairs once you have confirmed your enrollment with CMU Silicon Valley and have paid your enrollment deposit.
With this information, you will be able to access a number of important student on-line resources via Enrollment Services - The HUB.
For new incoming students, you will be automatically registered for your Fall semester courses (your first semester). However, starting your 2nd semester, you will be required to register for classes via your Online Student Registration page.
