Student Assistance & Support

Student Assistance & Support

Student Assistance & Support supports students through life challenges and connects them with university and community supports to best address their diverse needs. Student Assistance & Support provides individualized assistance to promote student safety and well-being, collaboration and resilience, personal accountability, and self-advocacy. Our team consults and collaborates with campus partners to balance the needs of individual students with those of the overall campus community.
Student Assistance & Support also coordinates Blazer Kitchen at Hill Student Center, one of the University's two on campus food pantry locations. Open to any active UAB student, the location provides access to perishable and non-perishable food, school supplies, and personal hygiene items.

Additional information is available by stopping by 303 Hill Student Center, visiting uab.edu/students/assistance, or calling 205-975-9509.
