Sign Up for Housing

UNA requires all first-time, full-time freshmen to live on campus in a residence hall for up to one academic year. Students first enrolling in the fall are required to live on campus during the fall and spring semesters. Apply for housing or an exemption here. - https://una.edu/housing/apply-for-housing/index.html

Immunizations

All incoming UNA students must submit proof of immunization by logging into Health Services' patient portal using your UNA credentials. The patient portal tab is located on the Health Services website. While you are there, you may also fill out your health forms. 

Student Financial Responsibility Agreement

UNA students must read and agree to the Financial Responsibility Agreement set forth by the University. This agreement is a one-time agreement and will remain in effect throughout the student’s career at UNA unless it is rescinded or altered at the University’s discretion. Until the agreement is agreed upon by the student, a registration hold will be placed on the account. You may access the agreement through your UNA Portal.

Disability Support Services

If you received accommodations in high school you may receive continued support at UNA. It is the responsibility of the student to contact Disability Support Services (DSS) to initiate the process to develop an accommodation plan. This accommodation plan will not be applied retroactively. Appropriate, reasonable accommodations will be made to allow each student to meet course requirements, but no fundamental or substantial alteration of academic standards will be made. Students needing assistance should contact DSS here

MANE Card Registration

The MANE Card is your student ID card. This will allow you to access your residence hall room, Dining Dollars, Lion Loot, and more. Prior to your SOAR session you will receive an email from online photo submission to your UNA email account. If you complete your photo submission prior to SOAR, you will receive your Mane Card during your session. Create your Mane Card account here.  To learn more about the MANE Card, click here.
