Welcome to UAM! We are glad your college student has decided to become a member of the UAM family. Below, you will find helpful information about the services available at UAM. Academic Advising Each student is assigned an academic advisor, someone who guides a student through his/her college experience. Academic advisors are available to discuss a student’s academic expectations, what courses a degree requires, and help him/her decide a plan of action. A student should always meet with his/her academic advisor before making any important academic decisions. Academic Support Programs UAM offers various programs to maximize student success. All of the programs are FREE!
Weevils at Work “Weevils at Work” is UAM’s student mentoring program. Student mentors are available to help any current UAM student. Mentors are a good resource for new students because they understand the demands of a student’s first year of college. Mentors are available during the fall and spring semesters.

Through both group and individual counseling, the Center tries to help students better understand themselves, their interests, and abilities.
