  • International students preferred payment method: Log into Flywire for an easier and less expensive way to pay with foreign currency. UAF has partnered with Flywire by peerTransfer to provide an easy, fast option for transferring funds from your home country directly to UAF. Generally, funds may be transferred in the home country currency and converted to U.S. dollars at the point of transfer or they may be transferred in U.S. dollars.  You may use this direct link to the UAF Flywire transfer page.  More general information is available at Flywire by peerTransfer.  You will need to allow at least 5-7 days for the transfer to be completed and applied to your UAF account.  "Paying with flywire" is a video that explains how the process works.

No matter your time zone, you will have a dedicated multilingual customer support team available to you - reachable 24/7 via live chat, Skype, email and phone to answer any of your questions.

Failure to meet financial obligations

University policy requires a financial hold be placed on your student account if you fail to meet your financial obligations. The hold will prevent any access to registration, grades, transcripts and graduation.

Past due accounts will be referred to a third-party collection agency where students will be responsible for collection, attorney, and legal fees. Past due debt may be reported to a local credit bureau. The University is authorized to garnish a student's State of Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend for payment of past due accounts under Alaska Statutes 14.40.251 and 43.23.190.
