1. University work is much more rigorous and much less guided than secondary education course work;
2. The courses taken will establish an official transcript that will follow the student throughout the student's college and/or university career;
3. Adult themes and diverse perspectives are essential of University materials and discourse;
4. A secondary school student who registers in University courses is responsible for maintaining at least a "C" (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) cumulative high school grade point average in order to register for college level credit;
5. The University will not act in a parental or supervisory role;
6. A parent or guardian may not attend a course in which their secondary school student is registered unless the parent or guardian is also officially registered for the course;
7. A secondary school student who registers in University courses is fully responsible for complying with all policies and procedures of the University. The includes being aware of and adhering to the University Student Code of Conduct.
8. A permanent University disciplinary record is established for all students who are found responsible for violating the Code of Conduct.

The University reserves the right to deny or discontinue the enrollment of a student in a course or courses if the University determines that the student lacks the maturity, the legal or intellectual ability or the academic preparedness to participate on an equal footing with other students, or if it is otherwise not in the legitimate interest of the University for the student to participate. Factors that may be considered in such a determination include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Whether the parents (including guardians) of the student support the student's enrollment in the course;
2. Whether, in the judgment of the faculty member, the student:
3. • Possesses the intellectual and academic resources to participate meaningfully on an equal footing with other students,
   • Has the emotional maturity to absorb and appreciate the significance of material covered in the course,
   • Has the potential to behave appropriately so as not to disrupt the class or distract the faculty member or other students in the course,
   • Is independent and will not require undue care, attention, or monitoring by the faculty member, and
   • Possesses the physical ability to perform physical functions in the course without undue risk;
4. Whether the course involves high risk activities for which the University requires a release of claims of all students, in light of the fact that such a release is not enforceable as to a student under the age of 18; and
5. Whether the student can lawfully participate in the course.

To complete the Registration process, Secondary School students must:

• Submit a Secondary Student Admission Application form at http://uaonline.alaska.edu through Enrollment Services, or at one of the extended campuses.
  
• Pick up a Secondary School Student Enrollment forms online, in the back of any printed course schedule, at Enrollment Services, or at any extended campus.
  
• Complete Student Information section of the Secondary School Student Signature Form. Form must be signed and dated by student.
  
• Obtain signed approval on the Secondary School Student Signature Form of Parents and/or Guardian. Parent and/or Guardian signature denotes agreement and understanding on the Student and Parent/Guardian Agreement.
  
• Obtain signed approval on the Secondary School Student Signature Form from the local area School District designees. The designees will assess the student's social and academic maturity and readiness for success and safety in the courses requested. If the student is home schooled, the home-school organization director will serve as the local area School District designee.
  
• Obtain signed approvals on the Secondary School Student Signature Form from the course instructor. The course instructor's approval is based on the instructor's judgement that the student meets factors 1 through 4 in the University Determination section of this policy. Course instructors may require copies of high school transcripts and SAT, ACT, or an approved test to determine appropriate course placement. Faculty signatures only indicate permission to register and attend; this is not a guarantee of admittance into a closed (full) course.
  
• Complete a Proxy for Registration Form if someone other than the student is processing the request. This needs to be signed by the student and parent/guardian.
  
• Submit above stated forms to the UAA Enrollment Services director or extended campus director for review and final approval. The campus designee will review the student packet for completeness and assess the student's social and academic maturity and readiness for success and safety in the course requested.
