  • Commencement Update

    Thank you, UAA graduates, for filling out the survey regarding your preferences for this spring’s commencement ceremonies. Sixty percent of you responded, and it is clear that an in-person ceremony or celebration for your class at some time in the future is important to you. Hosting an actual ceremony is not possible currently or through the summer months ahead. However, we are diligently working to create a solution to honor you now with the hopes of celebrating with you in the future.

    Next Steps

  • Finish your classes
    Work with your professors to complete your classes in order to finish your degree.
