Student Assistance & Support

Student Assistance & Support provides comprehensive, individualized support to students experiencing personal, academic, or social challenges that may impact their well-being or success at UAB. Our team works directly with students to assess concerns, develop action plans, and connect them with appropriate university and community resources. We assist with a wide range of needs, including mental health concerns, financial or housing instability, academic difficulties, interpersonal conflicts, medical emergencies, and other situations requiring coordinated care.

In addition, Student Assistance & Support manages Blazer Kitchen at the Hill Student Center, one of UAB’s on‑campus food pantry locations. This resource is available to all currently enrolled UAB students and provides access to perishable and non‑perishable food items, school supplies, personal hygiene products, and other essential household goods. Our goal is to reduce food insecurity and remove barriers that may affect students’ ability to focus, learn, and succeed.
