Tuition

Tuition rates for 2024–25 remain unchanged from tuition 2023-24 rates.

 

Fees

There are two types of enrollment-based fees.

• Mandatory student fees are charged to students on a per-credit basis on all undergraduate and graduate level courses.
• Course fees are specific to particular courses and meet expenses beyond those normally covered by tuition. The course description in UAOnline identifies courses for which fees are charged and the amount. Fee amounts vary by course. 

Mandatory Student Fees

At the UAA Anchorage campus, mandatory student fees are assessed on all undergraduate and graduate level credits, regardless of course location and delivery mode.

Mandatory student fees are not refundable unless the student drops their course(s) during the 100 percent refund period, refer to the Registration website for dates and deadlines. There are no waivers for mandatory student fees. A small number of students take classes as a special program participant and their fees are determined according to the signed memorandum of agreement (e.g., middle colleges). Professional Development (500-level courses) and courses with administrative fees in lieu of tuition are exempt from mandatory student fees.

Anchorage Consolidated Student Fee

The UAA Anchorage campus assesses a $40.16 per credit Consolidated Student Fee to all students registered in courses offered by the Anchorage campus.

As a member of the UAA Anchorage community, students have access to great resources, activities, programs and services provided by the consolidated student fee. This fee helps ensure that students receive a well-rounded educational experience that goes beyond the classroom, enhancing the co-curricular experience and improving the quality of campus life. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the services being provided by the consolidated student fee, which include:

• recreational use of the fitness facilities in the AVIS Alaska Sports Complex;
• reduced ticket prices to big name musicians and comedians;
• free office visits at the Student Health and Counseling Center;
• opportunities to participate in student government;
• free or reduced admission to athletic events;
• use of ePortfolio software;
• sustainability initiatives;
• student radio station KRUA 88.1 FM and The Northern Light student newspaper;
• Call Team safety escorts, Seawolf shuttle service, and U-Pass municipal bus programs.

UA Infrastructure Fee

Beginning in the Fall 2024 semester, the former individual Facilities Fee and Network Charge are consolidated into a single $19 per credit UA Infrastructure Fee.

The UA Infrastructure Fee is assessed to all students at all University of Alaska campuses on a per credit basis to address capital investment for university facilities and infrastructure. This includes, but is not limited to, academic equipment, capital refresh, and support. This fee also covers rapidly rising costs in the maintenance and enhancement of university-wide technology infrastructure. Infrastructure supports physical and virtual operations, maintenance, and construction that modernize university facilities, student living and learning spaces, and technology systems that enhance the university-wide academic experience.

A portion of the revenue remains at the university at which the fee is collected, and a portion of the revenue goes to the UA system for the operation of common networks. For courses offered though UAA’s Anchorage campus, this fee will appear as “UAA Infrastructure Fee” on the student bill.
