Graduation Help Desk

Every student counts at UTA, but sometimes students need some extra help to stay on course. UTA has launched the Graduation Help Desk to give students and their advisers assistance in tackling graduation goals. The service will investigate each case and offer solutions. It also will track trends and obstacles affecting UTA students. For assistance, email graduationhelp@uta.edu. For questions, contact Soyla Santos at ssantos@uta.edu.
