Graduating RHS

Degree Audit

When you are close to the end of your program, you or your advisor will request a review of your progress toward the graduation. Staff in the Graduation Office will let you know which requirements you have met and whether you still have more work to finish.

Application for Graduation

Plan ahead. The deadlines to file for May graduation are either in February ($20) or March ($30). Complete the application and pay the fee if you intend to graduate. You'll be asked if you are attending in person or want the diploma mailed to you. You can participate in graduation at any rural campus or in Fairbanks. Indicate that RHS is your major, the degree is a certificate and name your RHS advisor. The Graduation Office will usually contact your advisor if there is a problem. If you file for graduation but are unable to complete your course work that semester, you will have to re-apply the next semester and pay the fee again.

Re-applying to UAF

If you take a year or more off from the RHS program, you may have to re-apply to UAF and pay the $35 fee again. RHS is a two-year program and the university may drop you from enrollment when you are not an active student.

Catalog Changes

If you dropped out of RHS and returned several years later, you will still have all the credits you earned before. However, some of the requirements may have changed. This could be a change in the courses or the number of credits a course carries. Your advisor can help you determine how you will be affected and what you need to do.
