AHEAD
Qualified high school students can be admitted to UAF and enroll for simultaneous credit in high school and university courses. As an AHEAD student you have all the rights and responsibilities that you would if you were a freshman in college.

Alaskans are known for their independence and for their strong values, so it's no surprise that Alaska boasts a strong home school movement. Because we value independence and innovation, UAF encourages home-school students to consider UAF as a college choice. Review the admissions criteria for home school students in the catalog. Contact Mary Kreta for questions specific to admission from a home school program.

Advanced placement (AP) credit
UAF grants advanced credit, with waiver of fees, for a score of three or higher in the College Board Advanced Placement Tests. Normally, you take these tests during your senior year in high school.

If you are a high school student wanting to take one or two classes at UAF, secondary enrollment is for you. Fill out the form online, print and sign it, and contact the instructors to get signatures. Then deliver or send it to the Registrar's Office in Signers' Hall.

Tech Prep opportunities
