The Undergraduate Academic Affairs office handles requests for exceptions to academic policies for undergraduate students within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Science. Our mission is to provide support to students, faculty and staff on a variety of academic issues and policy questions.

Throughout the year, our office conducts workshops for students in academic jeopardy and for faculty and staff to help them better understand policies and procedures. Additionally, the UAA Deans attend and conduct educational presentations at national and regional conventions such as the American College Personnel Association (ACPA) and National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).

Our commitment to academic excellence is also visible at GMU. The deans teach a variety of courses within the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities, and they serve as advisors to Alpha Lambda Delta (for freshmen and rising sophomores).
