Earn your degree from a name that you know and trust — and rise with the Tide!
We want you to know that you still belong here and that it’s never too late to come back to Bama!
If you’re looking to complete your bachelor’s degree, you might qualify for our Back to Bama grant for returning undergraduate students who left The University of Alabama before graduating. The Back to Bama grant is equal to the cost of one 3-credit-hour course during your first semester of enrollment in your return to the university.
For these grads, UA Online was the perfect way to complete their degree
"I couldn't resist the pull the university had, drawing me back to finish what I started so many years ago. I feel so fortunate to complete my educational journey where I began and launch my future from the school I think of as home."
"Earning my degree is important as it fulfills a promise I made to myself and family to go back to college and get my degree."
"Earning my degree from The University of Alabama means more to me than I could possibly articulate. It has been a long road to earning my bachelor's degree. As a working mother of three, I was not sure if I would ever have the time or resources to finish my degree. I was able to pursue my dream with confidence and minimal stress."
