Register for Classes

This electronic form uses DocuSign to verify signatures and must be digitally signed by both a parent/guardian and the student. Once complete, the authorization 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 has been processed, register for classes on UAOnline. For help with the registration process see How to Register.
