Q: I am unable to view documents, forms, etc. pertaining to the Honors Program, what is wrong?

A: Most commonly, you are not signed into your alaska.edu email account. If you try viewing Honors documents in your gmail, hotmail, etc. account, you will not be able to access the document. This is a security measure from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in order to protect your personal information. First try signing into your alaska.edu email account UAF supplies you with. If you still have problems, call the Honors Program at 907-474-6612.

Q: I have recieved a letter from the University saying I am eligible for the Honors Program. Am I automatically accepted?

A: No. The Honors Program requires a separate application to be submitted. You can find it by going to our homepage and clicking on the application link. Sign in using your alaska.edu email account, or the application will not work.

Q: If I have a concern about the House or the rules, is there someone I can talk to about it?

A: Yes! The Honors staff and the Honors Faculty Advisory Council is always happy to talk with you. If you would rather talk to a student, a member of the Honors Student Advisory Council or the Honors Student Leaders would be a great point of contact. If you would like, you may request your name be kept confidential. We strive to make the Honors House a welcoming environment for everyone.

Q: I do not meet the eligiblity requirements, but I am close to meeting them and I feel that I would be a dedicated Honors student. Can I still apply?

A: If you feel that you would like to be an Honors student, but don't meet the requirements, please see the provisional portfolio acceptance section. If you still have questions or concerns, email us at uaf.honors@alaska.edu. We will respond to you within the next 48 hours. If it is during scheduled University breaks, please allow for extra response time.

Q: Do Honors students have special on-campus housing?

A: No. Honors students still need to apply to UAF Residence Life Housing for on campus accomodations. The Honors House is a day use facility only.

Q: I am on probation for the program, but don't understand why?

A: You can be put on Honors probation for several reasons:

• Your GPA has dropped below 3.25. When this occurs, you have one semester to bring your GPA above 3.25 or you will be dropped from Honors. If you bring your GPA back up, but have been dismissed from the program, you will have to re-apply should you choose to continue with Honors.
   
• During one academic calendar year you are required to complete six Honors credits. If you do not, you will be placed on Honors probation.
   
• You must fulfill the full time student status and be enrolled in and recieved a grade for 12 or more credits each semester. If you do not, you will be placed on probation.
