If you are attending high school and would like to take a class or classes at UAA, please see the Dual Enrollment page.
Just Take a Class
We’ve updated the admission process for non-degree-seeking students. Please follow
the steps below to complete your application. If you experience any issues with the application portal, try resetting the system through the "forgot password" function (even if you don’t
yet have an account) or contact UAA Admissions at uaa.admissions@alaska.edu.
If you would like to take a class at UAA and are not seeking to complete a degree, you are considered a non-degree-seeking student. The following guidelines are for those who are 18 years old or older and not currently attending high school.
Admission Requirements
Anyone may take classes at UAA. For those looking to just take a class and who are not pursuing a degree, there are no GPA or transcript requirements.
Important Dates
Non-degree-seeking students follow the same enrollment dates and deadlines as other
students.
For class start dates, add/drop deadlines and other important information, see the Office of the Registrar Dates and Deadlines.
Important Considerations
- Non-degree-seeking students are not eligible for financial aid.
- Grades you receive as a non-degree-seeking student will appear on your official transcript, should you decide to later apply as a degree-seeking student.
- Non-degree-seeking students may audit a class; you must request this by the add/drop deadline.
- Non-degree-seeking students are responsible for their tuition costs and all associated fees, including the mandatory Consolidated Student Fee, which provides access to a variety of services such as recreational use of the fitness facilities in the Seawolf Sports Complex, reduced ticket prices to musicians and comedians, and free office visits at the Student Health and Counseling Center.
Senior Citizens
- UAA waives regular tuition for Alaska residents age 65 or older who register on a space available basis.
- Students utilizing the Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver may not register before the first day of instruction of the semester.
- For more information, rules, and how to complete registration and submit the Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Form, please see the "Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver" section on the UAA Catalog: Tuition and Fees page.
