In-Person and Virtual

Since Fall 2021 semester, we have been available for university business in-person and virtually during normal business hours. Our in-person services are available at the START main office in the University Center room 1183.

The START Virtual Front Desk operates during normal business hours. Students can meet in real-time with our office assistant staff who can assist with scheduling an appointment, appointment check-in, or re-directing to other campus resources.

We are answering our phone (313-593-5576) and responding to voicemails during normal business hours. You can continue to reach our office by email (umd-start@umich.edu) or through our Virtual Front Desk.
