As a part of the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Student Life upholds the Division's objective of dedication to the total development of each student. Student Life facilitates the development process by providing a comprehensive co-curricular experience that gives students the opportunity for personal, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth and by offering programs, activities, and services that compliment and enhance the student's collegiate experience.

The Office of Student Life coordinates a broad range of services designed to help you succeed. Orientation programs for new students, academic tutoring, free study skills workshops, individual and small group counseling, services addressing the special concerns of students who are physically or learning challenged, substance abuse and wellness programming and a student judicial system are among the available services. Every effort is made to direct academic assistance toward students in a way that best meets individual needs. Our Academic Resource Center, which houses a comprehensive microcomputer lab, offers campus-wide academic assistance services through faculty mentoring of students and small groups, computer-assisted and video-assisted independent learning stations and student tutoring.

Student organizations exist to build upon and enrich the classroom experiences for UNA students. Every student can participate in an extensive array of activities and find a place to belong at UNA. Supported by UNA are traditional campus groups such as the Student Government Association, honor societies, and service clubs. Special interest groups, religious organizations, and fraternities and sororities are available.
At the University of North Alabama you experience a wide variety of leadership opportunities individually and through student organizations. Leadership UNA and the Lead Team will give you the kind of training needed to assume active leadership roles on campus. Whether you arrive with outstanding leadership ability or emerging potential there is an organization waiting to meet your needs at UNA.
UNA supports an active Greek system. It includes nine fraternities and seven sororities, and features a fraternity row and a Brand New Panhellenic residence for sororities. Through Greek life, you may experience close bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood that tie chapters together at UNA and throughout the world.
UNA recognizes the importance of spiritual growth as part of the student's total education. The Baptist Campus Ministries, Christian Student Center, and Wesley Foundation provide facilities adjacent to campus for various denominations to meet for religious and social activities. Several other religious groups meet in local churches, and most local denominations and faiths have churches and synagogues within walking distance of campus.
Entertainment helps round out campus life. Extracurricular activities include concerts, dances, lectures, movies, comedians, and other live performances. Students not only have the opportunity to participate in these extracurricular activities, but to plan and organize future entertainment.
