At the Beginning

UAF Application

This form enrolls you as a UAF student in the RHS program. List Rural Human Services as your major.

Obtain transcripts from any college or university you attended (except UAF, UAA, or UAS). These must be official transcripts sent directly from the school to UAF Office of Admissions. There is usually a small charge for this service (most schools will accept credit card payment over the phone). Admissions office won't evaluate transcripts until you are enrolled as a UAF student. The Admissions office will decide which of your courses will translate into UAF credits. Your RHS advisor will explain whether those credits can be used to meet RHS or other program requirements.

Academic Bankruptcy

Students who have not attended the university as a full-time student for a minimum of two years may choose to erase past UAF academic work from their GPA (grade point average) and start over. If you think that applies to you, see your advisor. If needed, complete the Application for Academic Bankruptcy. All prior credits will be disregarded - you can't only drop the "bad" grades.

ASSET Testing

UAF requires that students enrolled in a certificate program take a placement test to determine appropriate writing skill and recommended courses. From 2004 on, students will also be tested for computation (math) skills.
