Attentive faculty
UMHS faculty and administrators are dedicated to student success and are relentless in their mission to provide students with the tools, resources, and support to thrive.
Faculty are on campus every day and maintain open office hours. Each student is also assigned a faculty advisor who will assist them throughout each semester and guide them through any academic difficulties they may encounter.
Campus access
Campus facilities—including classrooms, breakout rooms, the library, and the Learning Resource Center—are all open weekdays from 7 AM to 11 PM and have reduced hours on the weekends.
The student lounge is also open 24 hours a day. It contains refrigerators, microwaves, vending machines, lockers, and comfortable seating.
