2.6 AdvisementAcademic AdvisementThe MHA Program Director is the advisor of record for academic advisement for all MHA students. An advising e-mail is sent to students each semester the week before registration begins notifying students of the courses they should enroll in for the next semester. Course registration is straight forward since all students are required to follow the Course Sequence (available on the MHA web site, the MHA Blackboard site, and in this Handbook). Additional advising questions may be sent via email, or student may request a phone or in-person meeting with the Program Director. The Program Director also approves electives, performs graduation checks, and similar tasks.
BCH advising staff are available to help with registration and other course related issues. Career AdvisingThe UNF Career Services Center provides a variety of career services, programs, and resources specifically designed to help students make a successful transition from academics to a professional career.

Health Administration Student Association Developing tomorrow’s healthcare leaders today. About Us Health Administration Student Association Members are actively involved on campus. We organize events on current healthcare topics, fundraisers, provide students opportunities to network with health professionals in Jacksonville and participate in the yearly Congress on Healthcare Leadership in Chicago held by the American College of Health Executives. Reasons to Join:
Shadowing/Volunteering HASA’s top priority is to put students in touch with the local healthcare community. One of the ways we do that is to give students the up close and personal experience of an Executive Job Shadow. Operation Field Trip HASA offers opportunities to tour medical facilities in and around the Jacksonville area. We organize “field trips” to local outpatient clinics, hospitals, and physician practices to illuminate the clinical and administrative aspects of healthcare delivery. ACHE Congress Scholarship In the world of health administration, networking and professional development is critical. The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Congress on Healthcare Leadership in Chicago is an excellent venue for both! It is important that HASA members are given an opportunity to attend. This is why we have created the ACHE Congress Scholarship. This scholarship will pay for event tuition, airfare, and hotel accommodations. Membership Two Ways to Join:
