Countdown to UAA
FAFSA: Every Student, Every Year
Have you submitted your FAFSA? Every degree-seeking student at UAA should submit a
FAFSA. Even if you aren't planning on using financial aid, you may be surprised by
what you are eligible for. Most people take an hour or less to file this application.
Congrats on being admitted. What's next?
1. Complete Course Placement
UAA believes it is important to start college on the right track, and course placement is important to your success! Course placement helps you and your First Year Advisor make informed decisions about which classes are best for your first semester.
2. Attend Orientation
At UAA we call orientation "Howl Days." Attending orientation is expected of all incoming students and gives you the opportunity to connect with UAA students, staff, and faculty while getting information about life at UAA. You will also learn about registering for classes.
You have the option of attending in-person Howl Days, live virtual Howl Days (via Zoom), or a self-guided virtual module that you can complete at your own pace!
3. Meet with an Advisor and Register for Classes
UAA offers a range of course delivery options for students. Your advisor will help you select courses and decide on the best course delivery method.
See who your advisor is and schedule an appointment with them in Navigate. If you have trouble finding who your advisor is, contact First Year Advising.
Now that you've taken care of those things, check out what UAA has to offer!
