SUBJECT:            UAF Offers Web Fee Payment to Long List of Online Services

LOCATION:          UAF Campus

DATE & TIME:     Friday, Jan. 4, 2002

The University of Alaska Fairbanks now adds web fee payment to the list of services students can do over the Internet. Students who have registered for classes online can pay for their classes, parking, insurance and books with Visa, MasterCard or online by visiting http://uaonline.alaska.edu. The site is secure and will require the student’s social security and pin number.

Students who need waivers for insurance or parking should call the business office Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. to have their account adjusted. Payment via the web should take place immediately after the adjustment is made. All adjustments need to be made prior to payment.

Prospective and current students can also use the Web to apply, register, check grades and transcripts, calculate grade point average, fill out surveys, and apply for scholarships, graduation and even graduate school, just to name a few.
