The Office of University Migrant Services (UMS) at California
State University, Fresno provides retention services to university students
from migrant and seasonal farmworker families. UMS works with campus student
services, faculty, and community-based agencies to improve educational opportunities
for UMS students.
UMS is for you if you are entering Fresno State (freshman through graduate
level) and have a migrant or seasonal farmworker background. As a retention
service, we are concerned with helping you stay in school. We will help
you explore your academic and career choices and make sure that you have
the information you need to make the decisions which will shape your future.
The UMS staff are trained professionals in various areas including academic
advising, counseling, career development, and language skill development.
They will take a personal interest in helping you with your adjustment to
the university environment.
Special services designed to assist UMS students in developing their academic
potential include academic assistance, counseling, career planning, cultural
enrichment, and financial aid advisement.
College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) is a federal program designed
for freshmen migrant and seasonal farmworker students. UMS students eligible
for CAMP may be offered a CAMP stipend, vision and dental insurance, and
other supplemental services.
To apply to UMS or CAMP, write, call, or better yet, come by in person to
our office. Our staff will gladly provide you with the necessary applications
and materials.
