In addition to the many kinds of assistance provided by academic departments and individual faculty and staff members, UT Martin offers coordinated learning support through the Student Academic Support Center. Staff members in all of these offices seek to help each student realize maximum benefits from educational experiences by assisting the student in adjustment to growing responsibilities and opportunities. The Student Government Association on the UT Martin campus provides opportunities for students to participate in the development of policies and procedures for the University. The SGA also presents many entertainment programs. Representatives of the Student Government Association serve on major campus committees along with members of the faculty and administration.

An active drama program is conducted through the Vanguard Theatre. There are a variety of music groups on campus. Students may become members of bands, instrumental ensembles, and vocal groups which include an opera workshop. Students interested in dance may participate in the UT Martin Dance Ensemble.
