Averages are listed on year-specific budgets. For tuition and fee information view the UAS Tuition schedule.

Transportation: An allowance of about $370 per semester for full-time status, is sufficient to meet most needs. The cost depends on how close a student lives to campus and their car expenses. Students may also request aid for airfare if they plan to return to their hometown during the school year.
