Join us for UAA Faculty and Staff Convocation on Friday, Aug. 20, 9–10 a.m. virtually via Zoom. We are excited to welcome you back for the new academic year to celebrate the #UAAmazing work you do in support of our students, institution and community.

In light of the recent events in Afghanistan, we want you to know the University of Alaska Anchorage community stands with you.

Daily Grind will remain closed until further notice due to a hiring shortage. Need a coffee fix? Please head to Kaladi Brothers Coffee near the Consortium Library!

On behalf of the faculty, staff and administrators at the University of Alaska Anchorage, I want you to know that we are looking forward to welcoming you to the fall semester. The entire UAA family has been preparing the campus and adjusting operations to make your experience with us this fall smooth and successful.

As part of our U-Pass program, UAA students, staff and faculty who qualify may also use the Municipality of Anchorage’s AnchorRIDES program for free with a valid WolfCard. This program provides paratransit services to individuals whose disabilities prevent them from using the People Mover fixed route system.

Look for our welcome desks throughout campus. We can help you find your classroom, learn how to access buildings and services, and provide updates on available services and supports. We can't wait to see you!

Please remember to wear a face mask while inside any UAA building. Regardless of your vaccination status, all individuals must wear a mask while inside university buildings. When you are outdoors and on university property, masks are only required when it is not possible to maintain six feet of distance from other people or when mandated by an event- or location-specific mitigation plan.

I’m emailing because I want to be sure that you know that UAA has so many ways to help you succeed in your classes. After all, that’s the reason you are here and I’m happy to share with you three ideas that I think can help you during the semester.
