Student success encompasses both academic achievement and holistic development. A successful academic journey begins with the understanding of a body of knowledge, the cultivation of self-management and interpersonal skills, and the development of relationships within the UAH community. Long-term success includes the application and creation of knowledge, a dedication to lifelong learning, and community engagement in the pursuit of academic, personal, and professional goals.

NavigateUAH and MyUAH are similar in that they both act as portals through which you can access key applications you use in your day-to-day life as a student. There will be links from MyUAH to Navigate. Within NavigateUAH, you’ll have links to Canvas, Schedule Planner, DegreeWorks, and career tools like ChargerPath/Handshake and Forage. NavigateUAH also has tools like appointment scheduling with your advisor and other offices on campus, a study group finder, to-do lists, a quick link to your class schedule, an AI-powered search for campus resources, and academic planning tools.
Undergraduates can access NavigateUAH through a mobile app or using the desktop version of the platform. UAH faculty and staff access the platform through the desktop version. The tools available will depend on your role at the university and whether an office has chosen to use a feature. For example, students will be able to schedule academic advising appointments through NavigateUAH, but a faculty member may prefer to have you schedule a meeting through email or during drop-in office hours.
