The Care Team member is a resource who can help you navigate UA Little Rock, assist with academic support strategies, conflict resolution, connect you to campus and community resources, help you navigate financial resources, and assistance in crisis situations.
Transportation to Campus – Rock Region METRO
UA Little Rock students and employees may ride the bus for free, using the Trojans U-Pass. Go to the I.D. Card Office – room 114 on the lower level of the Donaghey Student Center, to pick up your Trojans U-Pass. The Trojans U-Pass is a sticker that goes on your UA Little Rock ID card. Each semester, riders will need to get an updated sticker. A sticker issued in January will be good through the summer semester. Riders will need to get a new sticker for the fall semester.
