Accessibility Services is the department within Student Support and Development which is responsible for providing necessary accommodations to students with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Career advising services at UMA are designed to help students focus and implement their career goals.

A variety of resources are available, including workshops, assessment tools, computerized resources, and individual appointments with a career counselor.

Scholarships are financial awards which do not have to be repaid. Full-time and part-time UMA students have an opportunity to apply for a number of scholarships made available by the University of Maine at Augusta, the University of Maine System, and generous donations by organizations and individuals to UMA’s scholarship fund. To be eligible for the scholarships, students must annually file a FAFSA and meet federal eligibility requirements.

The Student Support & Development department collaborates with faculty and other members of the University community to create a supportive learning environment, advocate for students, and provide the services and opportunities that facilitate a successful transition into college, an understanding of student rights, responsibilities, and privileges, and intellectual and personal growth.
