Once we have your complete application, application fee and official transcripts (high school transcripts showing *GPA and graduation date or GED showing passing scores or Ability to Benefit Test, and/or official post-secondary transcripts from all accredited institutions) you will be considered for admission. For high school graduates from Alaska, you must also pass all sections of the High School Qualifying Exam to be admitted.
*If your cumulative GPA is below a 2.0 you will be admitted on probation and will be required to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 during your first semester.

We consider a transcript to be official if it has been sent to us directly by the issuing high school or college. If the transcript is given to you in a sealed envelope, in order for it to remain official, the envelope must be given to the Admissions office in the original sealed envelope from the sending institution(s).

Now that you have been admitted, you need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); their Web site is www.fafsa.ed.gov. Next, contact the Student Resource Center for information on taking placement tests and registering for classes by calling (877) 465-4827. Also, sign-up for orientation: first time students registered for 12 or more credits are required to attend orientation.

If you are unable to attend the semester you are admitted, your application may be postponed for up to one year. If you would like to postpone your application, please contact Admissions & Records at (907) 796-6100 or email admissions@uas.alaska.edu.

Dependent children of alumni who have received an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree from the University of Alaska also qualify for resident tuition.

The first step is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov and visit our financial aid Web site at www.uas.alaska.edu/financial_aid or call the UAS financial aid office at (907) 796-6255 for more information and scholarship deadlines.

UAS participates in the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Stafford Student Loan, and Federal Work-Study programs in addition to state loan, and grant programs. Most aid is awarded on the basis of financial need. Some scholarships, however, are based on academic potential and performance. The deadline for merit-based UAS scholarships is February 15th. To apply for need-based programs, students should request a packet from the Financial Aid office.

Once your application for admission is processed, you will be given a student ID number that will enable you to access UAOnline where you can check on the status of you application, as well as apply for UA Scholarships.

To login to UAOnline for the first time, you will be asked for your student ID number and your PIN.

• Your student ID number is an eight-digit number that you should have received in the mail. If you do not have your ID number yet, you can look it up using ELMO

• Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) is set to a default that you will need to change when you log in for the first time. The default is set to your six-digit birthdate (MMDDYY) with no dashes or spaces. So if your birthday was January 1st, 1901, your PIN would be 010101.

To begin the process for your UAS scholarship, there are two portions, the first is through UAOnline and the second is through the UAS Financial Aid website. Here are the steps:

Part One:

1. Go to UAOnline. Please note that the UAOnline portion of the scholarship application is required and you can not be qualified for any scholarships if you have not completed it.
