Welcome to the Robotics Student Services Office (SSO)
Our dedicated team is here to support Robotics students through every step of their academic path with needs like registration and enrollment help, academic advising, referrals, filling out forms, letter requests, and more.
If you have a question and aren’t sure where to begin looking for an answer, come see us – we’re happy to help! Our offices are located on the third floor of the Ford Robotics Building (FRB).
Contact us
You can contact us via email at robotics-sso@umich.edu. Our team is committed to providing timely responses to all your questions and during peak advising times during the school year. Email may be the quickest way to receive a response, and is best for things like letter requests, waitlist inquiries, and other items that don’t require an appointment.
Phone
You can call us at 734-763-2369 and leave a message. Please include your full name, whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, and your question. A SSO staff member will reach out to help you as soon as possible.
Appointments
Current University of Michigan students can schedule an advising appointment with an Undergraduate Academic Advisor or our Graduate Coordinator.

How to send announcements to our students
The Robotics department uses an announcement system that allows you to send your communication directly to our students. If you would like to have your announcement sent to our students, please email the appropriate group(s) below directly with your announcement.
- ROB Undergraduate Students: rob-ugrad-students@umich.edu
- ROB Master’s Students: rob-ms-students@umich.edu
- ROB Doctoral Students: rob-phd-students@umich.edu
Announcements will be reviewed within 1-2 business days
After emailing these groups the SSO staff will receive a request to approve your email. If approved the email will be sent directly to our students and viewed as coming directly from you, the sender. If denied, you will receive an email letting you know and the reason why. Some reasons a message might be denied include:
- Your message was deemed inappropriate for distribution to our students.
- Your message was not formatted to be sent directly to students. Please resubmit in a format addressed to the students you wish to send it to as if you were sending directly to them.
Tip: When sending, please write the email as if you are speaking directly to the students. Students will be able to reply directly to the email that you send your message from.
Sending job opportunities for Robotics students
Job postings should be sent to the Engineering Career Resource Center (ECRC). The Engineering Career Resource Center (ECRC) hosts an online system that allows you to post employment opportunities that will be easily accessible to all of our students. Visit the ECRC Hire a Michigan Engineer page to post your job.
