UAF Admissions: Inside Out preview days

Choosing a college is a big decision. We can make it easy.

Students and families had the opportunity to ask questions, get answers and experience life at UAF during UAF Inside Out, a preview event designed to let you see what the University of Alaska Fairbanks is all about--from the inside out. This event for high school juniors and seniors was held Friday, Oct. 17. We turned the university inside out so you can get the real story on financial aid, the admission process, classes and professors at UAF, extracurricular fun, and our outstanding academic programs.

Registration is over for our Fall Inside Out event. If you couldn't make it to the Fall UAF Inside Out, we encourage you to consider attending UAF Inside Out in Spring 2009 or scheduling an individual campus visit.
