High School Qualifying Exam (HSQE)
To earn a high school diploma in Alaska, you must fulfill all curriculum requirements and satisfactorily complete all three competency areas of the High School Qualifying Exam (HSQE).
If you do not pass the HSQE, you will be admitted as a pre-major within the department of your choice. To move from pre-major status into a baccalaureate program you must be in good standing (2.0 overall GPA at UAF), and have completed 14 credits at the 100 level or above with a C grade average (2.0) or higher, 9 credits of which must satisfy general core degree requirements. Once these requirements are met, you will be admitted to the bachelor's degree program.
