Where Can Future Students, Current Students, Parents, Alumni, and Faculty Find Their UAB Resources?

UAB's homepage organizes its main audiences into five groups: Future Students, Current Students, Parents & Family, Alumni, and Faculty & Staff. If you already know which group you belong to, start there. If you are a prospective student, the most direct path is the "Future Students" section, which leads to admissions, cost and aid, and scholarship entry points.

Future Students

This is the entry point for anyone not yet enrolled. From the homepage, prospective students can reach:

• Apply — the general application entry
• Undergraduate Cost & Aid — costs and financial aid information for undergraduate study
• Undergraduate Scholarships — a separate link dedicated to undergraduate scholarships
• Graduate Admissions — application path for graduate programs
• International Admissions — application path for international students
• Browse Degrees — the full program catalog, including undergraduate, graduate, and online programs

UAB states it offers 280+ degree and certificate programs, so "Browse Degrees" is the practical starting point if you are still deciding what to study rather than where to apply.

If you are comparing programs before applying

Use "Browse Degrees" first, then move to the admissions link that matches your level (undergraduate, graduate, or international). Cost and scholarship information sits on separate pages, so plan to check both the Cost & Aid and Scholarships links rather than expecting one combined page.

Current Students

The "Current Students" section is the navigation entry for enrolled students. The homepage does not detail which specific services sit behind it, so treat it as the starting hub for student-facing information rather than a complete list.

Parents & Family

"Parents & Family" is a dedicated section for family members supporting a student. As with Current Students, the homepage identifies the section but does not enumerate its contents.

Alumni

The "Alumni" section serves graduates. It is listed as one of the five primary audience groups on the homepage.

Faculty & Staff

"Faculty & Staff" is the internal-facing section for employees of the university.

What UAB Says About the Student Experience

For context on what these sections lead to, UAB describes 450+ student organizations, athletics programs, service opportunities, and employers near campus. It also notes that its location in the state's largest metro area puts students within blocks of jobs and internships.

Quick Reference

One practical note: several links on the homepage open external pages, so you may leave the main uab.edu domain when following admissions, cost, scholarship, or student-life links.
