The University of Arizona Global Campus is committed to providing the most straightforward information so students can put their effort into what matters most – their academic success. Our goal is to provide students the support they need so that they can focus on putting their effort toward their education. As one of the first fully online Universities, the University of Arizona Global Campus knows online support and student resources.
Academic Advisement
The Student Advising team works to help support student success at the University. Advisement is based on academic policies set by faculty and operational procedures that uphold consistency and service to students.
A dedicated Advisor is assigned to each degree-seeking student upon enrollment. This approach provides students with a point of contact for academic and administrative support and direction.
The Advisor assists the student in course scheduling/registration, developing a degree-completion plan, clarifying University policies and procedures and providing awareness of the resources available to help students be successful in their educational journey.
Student Affairs
Student Affairs promotes student success through programs and services to meet the individualized needs of our learners. We empower self-determination and embrace the values of equity, inclusion, and mutual respect.
Supporting student and alumni success is accomplished by matching students with co-curricular programs and support services that are responsive to their unique needs and talents. Programs and services are actively integrated throughout the University and encompass values that enhance and enrich the moral, intellectual, spiritual, and psychological growth of the whole student.
Student Affairs includes student health and wellness resources, disability support services, student community standards, the Student Resolution Center, Student Rights and Responsibilities, honor societies, peer mentoring, clubs and communities, volunteer opportunities, career services, alumni engagement and specialized support to our military and veteran students and their families.
The Office of Student Access and Wellness
The Office of Student Access and Wellness fosters equal opportunities to student success through accessible educational programs, disability-related advocacy, faculty and staff education, and an enhanced awareness of individual abilities and contributions.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended, the University of Arizona Global Campus prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. Reasonable accommodations will be granted to students who present appropriate documentation of disability and are otherwise qualified to participate in their specific program of study.
If you have a disability that warrants a particular accommodation during your time as a student at UAGC, contact access@uagc.edu to discuss this request with our professional staff. Students are responsible for disclosing disability information and requesting accommodation, in accordance with University requirements. Students who need assistance, even on a temporary basis, are encouraged to utilize the services available through the Office of Student Access and Wellness.
The Student Advocate HELPline is a service available through the Office of Student Access and Wellness. Student Advocates support students during times of need by working collaboratively to assess concerns for safety, identify community resources, and address educational impacts of personal hardships. Impacts supported include but are not limited to: concern for individual or community safety, loss of housing and extreme financial hardship, sexual assault, domestic violence, and/or significant impact resulting from the loss of a loved one.
Student Advocates are available Monday - Friday between 8am and 4pm PT, excluding holidays. Students are eligible for support through the HELPline after beginning their first course at the university, and if not currently active, have a last date of attendance within the last year. Issues concerning immediate safety should be referred regardless of student status or recency of attendance. Students are invited to contact the Office of Student Access and Wellness Student Advocate HELPline by completing an Online Care Report in order to seek assistance from a Student Advocate.
If you or the individual you are attempting to refer is in immediate danger, please dial 9-1-1, prior to contacting the Office of Student Access and Wellness.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Academic Resolution provides students an opportunity to seek redress of academic concerns to ensure their instructional experience represents a fair and consistent evaluation of student performance.
If a student has a concern about an instructor or their course and/or would like to formally request a revised letter grade, the student should first attempt to resolve their concerns with their instructor. If the student and instructor are not able to resolve the matter, the student may utilize the Academic Resolution process.
Resolution Center
From time to time, differences may arise between students and the University. These are usually due to a minor misunderstanding and may be easily resolved by the student and University personnel engaging in further conversations. The University of Arizona Global Campus encourages all parties to first pursue such discussions in an effort to work through these matters.
The Resolution Center's mission is to provide high-quality dispute resolution services to the University and the students it serves. The Resolution Center aims to assist in these situations by investigating your issue and assisting in finding a mutually satisfactory solution.
