Provisional Portfolio Acceptance

If you receive an email with the condition of provisional portfolio acceptance being put forth, do not get discouraged! If you have questions about the portfolio, feel free to email us <uaf.honors@alaska.edu> and let us know how we may be able to help you. We know some students don't quite meet the admittance requirements, but would still be a great addition to the program. We always look forward to learning more about our prospective students.
