Secondary Students Taking College Classes

Secondary students who have not graduated from high school are admitted as non-degree-seeking students. There is no application fee or deadline for secondary student admission.

High school students in dual enrollment programs (such as ANSEP Acceleration Academy or Middle College Programs) should follow their program's specific application process.

Apply for Admission

To apply, new students should:

  1. Go to UAOnline and select the "Just Take a Class" option on the far right, then select "Enter as Non-Degree-Seeking Student."
  2. Under the UAA logo, select "Enter."
  3. Click the red "New User" link under Section 2 to create a temporary login ID and password. Your temporary password must be exactly 6 numerals/digits and your login ID should be unique and has never been used.
  4. Choose a campus (University of Alaska Anchorage).
  5. Choose either Anchorage Middle College (if you are entering that program) or Secondary School: 17 & younger as the application type.
  6. Select the admission term (for the semester you will begin attending and fill out the application.)
  7. Fill out the application carefully. Make sure all information is accurate and complete to avoid delays. 
  8. When a checkmark appears before each section, click "Application is Complete" to submit your application.

Please allow 1-2 business days for processing. Once processed, you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete the Secondary Student Parent/Guardian Authorization.

After 1-2 business days, go to the UA Easy Login Maintenance Option (ELMO) site to find your UA login credentials (UA Student ID number and username) using the "Lookup Username/ID" feature. You must retrieve your UA Student ID number through ELMO before proceeding with the next steps.

Register for Classes

Before registering for classes, secondary students must submit a Secondary Student Parent/Guardian Authorization. A UA Student ID number is required to complete this form.

This electronic form uses Dynamic Forms (powered by Next Gen) to verify signatures and must be digitally signed by both the student and a parent/guardian. Once completed, the form will automatically route to uaa.registration@alaska.edu for processing. 

This authorization form only needs to be completed once and is honored by all three universities (UAA, UAF and UAS).

For additional information, please see the Secondary Student Enrollment Policy or contact the Registrar's Office at 907-786-1480 (Option 5).

Once the authorization is processed, you can register for classes on UAOnline. For help with the registration, see How to Register.
