TUITION & FEES Fall 2008
Financial Obligation for Fall
Tuition for fall classes must be received by August 21, 2008, or at the time of your registration. Fee payment by cash, check, money order, or credit card is available at the Student Accounts office, temporarily located in the Hendrickson Bldg. Rm 202. Payment by credit card is available via Web Registration (Visa or Mastercard only) at UAOnline by selecting “Login to Secured area” and follow the prompts. You can also fax payment information to the UAS Student Accounts office at 796-6006.
If you have your Financial Aid Application complete and the UAS financial aid officer has offered you aid and you have accepted it, financial aid will be disbursed starting August 18, 2008.
If you register and attend classes, the University holds you financially responsible.
- Tuition does not include student fees or lab/material fees.
- University policy requires a financial hold be placed on your record if you fail to meet your financial obligations. This hold will prevent any enrollment, transcript or graduation activity. Past due accounts will be sent to a collection agency and assessed collection costs. Interest, late fees, or collection costs must be paid before the financial hold will be removed.
The Board of Regents of the University of Alaska approves all tuition and fees. The university reserves the right to change or add to its fees at any time. Fee assessments are subject to audit and correction, and any such adjustments will be made following the close of late registration. Students will be notified by mail of any adjustments.
Residency
For purposes of tuition, a resident is any person who has been physically present in Alaska for two years and who has declared their intention to remain in Alaska indefinitely. However, any persons who, within one year, have declared themselves to be residents of another state, voted in another state, or performed any act inconsistent with Alaska Residency shall be deemed as non-residents for purposes of non-resident tuition. Non-residents wishing to apply for residency may pick up an Application for Change of Residency Status form at the Admissions & Records office or from the UAS forms page.
Agency Sponsored Students
Students receiving tuition assistance from agencies are responsible for ensuring that the necessary authorization forms have been submitted to the UAS Student Accounts office by the payment deadline.
Additional credits are assessed at the appropriate rate per credit. For non-residents, these rates are 427 per credit for lower division, 443 for upper division, and 586 for graduate credit.
- Non-residents may take up to 4 credits per semester at the resident rate; however, additional credits will cause all credits, including the first four, to be re-assessed at the non-resident rate.
- For Alaskan residents, additional credits are assessed at 128 per credit for lower division, 144 for upper division, and 287 for graduate credit.
- Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program: residents of Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming and are eligible under the WUE program. The WUE rate is 150% of the resident tuition rate.
Tuition prices vary, based upon the following criteria:
- Lower division (000 - 299 level), upper division (300-499 level) and graduate (600-699 level) courses.
- Resident - State of Alaska, Sister City, Yukon and Northwest Territory residents.
- Non-resident - Residents of all non-WUE states, International students.
- WUE - residents of the 14 participating western states.
Following are three graphs showing tuition costs per credit for Resident, WUE and Non-RES for Lower Division, Upper Division and Graduate level courses per semester. See the summer tuition schedule for summer 2008 information. Summer 2009 has yet to be determined.
