Academic Advising at UMA has been designed to enhance, facilitate, and promote student success.

Student Services Coordinators (SSC) at UMA specialize in a myriad of services, support resources, and academic programs. Whether you are changing your major, setting goals, or seeking resources, we are available to assist you. We are happy to answer questions about financial aid, admission to a degree program, course schedules, and more. An SSC can help you select courses, locate resources and ensure you’re on track to graduate. You can direct most university-related questions to your SSC; if we do not have the answer, we will point you to the available resource that does.
