Advising Support from UMAC |
Learning Support Students
Learning Support students must follow very specific guidelines which have been designed to increase the students’ chances of succeeding at the university level. Learning Support students may declare a major or change their current major but until they successfully exit the Learning Support program, are advised only by the Learning Support department.
Students with any Learning Support requirements must register for those courses each term they take classes until they successfully exit the program. Students enrolled in both Learning Support and credit courses may not withdraw or be withdrawn from a Learning Support course with a W unless they also withdraw or are withdrawn from all credit courses.
Registration dates for students in Learning Support normally differ from those for the rest of campus. Check with the Learning Support department for specific dates. Students in Learning Support must register on campus.
As students in Learning Support have issues unique to that program, caution should be taken when giving general information to students for advising/registration. Students who are required to take learning support courses will have holds on BANNER (SOAHOLD) and Learning Support requirements indicated on their schedule sheets.

A joint enrolled student is a qualified high school junior or senior enrolled in college classes for college credit. Students who have been accepted by Admissions as joint enrolled should work with that area for advisement and registration.
Students with Physical Disabilities
The University assists students
with physical disabilities on an individual basis. In order that individual
needs are met, a Disability Services Coordinator, Angie Kitchens, has been
designated in Counseling & Testing, (706),737-1471, to act as liaison
between students and faculty, helping to develop programs as the need arises.
It is important that the coordinator be contacted early in the process.
