What Students Are Saying

If you focus and get your work done as soon as you get it you should get good grades. Attending class is part of your participation points.
Janay from Montgomery, AL
Great academic program! The teachers genuinely want you too learn!
Alegna from York, AL
Academically classes aren't too challenging. All classes are tough but the classes here aren't too terribly hard because the teachers do welcome questions and always have their office doors open.
Grant from Saraland, AL
UWA has been said to be all about the Nursing Program. True enough, the school takes pride and dedication towards the program, but the instructors throughout other fields care just as much. UWA makes it their priority to ensure that all students succeed in their classes, and that we all meet our program requirements.
Jamilia from Eutaw, AL
The classrooms are small giving you more one on one time. The teachers here know you by name, not by number.
from Livingston, AL
When it comes to academics, they are pretty strict. If you fall below a C, if I'm not mistaking, in any class you are put on academic probation. If you don't bring it up by the end of that semester, you will no longer be able to attend the institution. You would have to file for an appeal for them to consider re-admitting you, but if that doesn't go through you would have to leave. However, if you have a certain grade point average at the end of the semester you will have the option of joining a Honor Society. G.P.A is a factor in very many organizations on campus.
