The UWA faculty are fully committed to fulfilling the University’s stated mission: “To provide opportunities for students to pursue a quality education and assist in developing the important qualities of independent thinking, respect for the ideas of others, personal integrity and character in order to realize their quests for a philosophy of life and self-fulfillment.”
In accordance with this mission, we at UWA work toward educating the total person and equipping each of our graduates with the knowledge and skills for a fulfilling career and a fulfilling life.
With our low student-to-faculty ratio (17 to 1) and high percentage of terminally degreed faculty (67%), students enjoy close interaction, both inside and outside the classroom, with scholars in their chosen fields of study.
We invite you to explore the many academic opportunities offered at the University of West Alabama, both on campus and online.

Complaints and Appeals
Whenever possible, we encourage that incidents are resolved directly with the staff member or department involved. Often, a complaint can be resolved in this way. However, if an informal approach is neither successful nor advisable, the Complaint and Appeals Form should be submitted.
To submit a complaint, please complete the form linked below. If you wish to submit an anonymous complaint, you may do so without providing your name or any other identifying or contact information. If you do not submit any contact information, no one can contact you for more information or update you on your complaint’s status. By providing correct contact information, staff have the ability to contact you with updates on your concern.
