When to apply
Graduate application deadlines may vary among departments. Federal, state and most other funding agencies require you to be enrolled in a degree program if you are receiving financial aid. We process admissions applications on a date received basis. For applications received after published deadlines, students are not guaranteed admittance to a degree program by the first day of instruction. This may affect financial aid packages. How to apply Application for admission You may apply online at www.uaf.edu/admissions/apply/ or obtain an application form from the Office of Admissions on the second floor of Signers' Hall. A non-refundable processing fee is due at the time of application:
Additional admission information is available at www.uaf.edu/admissions/ or by calling 907-474-7500 or toll-free at 800-478-1823. Transcripts If you have not enrolled in a college or university before, you must have your official high school transcript sent to the admissions office. If you have attended other colleges and/or universities, you must request official transcripts from each college or university you attended. The transcripts should be sent directly to the admissions office by the schools. Transcripts will not be accepted if you submit them. If you're a transfer applicant with fewer than 30 semester hours of credit, you must submit your high-school transcript as well as college transcripts. Please NOTE: Missing or incomplete documents will delay your admission and could result in not being admitted prior to the first day of instruction. All required documents, including final transcripts, must be on file before any financial aid can be disbursed. Test results If you're an entering freshman in a bachelor's degree program or a transfer student with fewer than 30 semester hours of credit, you must submit the results of either the ACT or SAT examinations for placement in classes. Please note that ASSET or COMPASS scores do not meet this requirement for bachelor's degree-seeking students. If you qualify for an associate or baccalaureate program and have transferred 30 semester hours of credit that include appropriate courses in English and mathematics, you don't need to submit test results. For those students who missed the ACT or SAT national test dates, the ACT residual (scores for UAF only) and the COMPASS test will be given prior to the beginning of the current semester. Residual ACT testing is for prospective UAF students only. ACT Residual Test Schedule -- For students who have not submitted scores from either the ACT or SAT national tests. ACT residual tests will be offered in Gruening building room 413 as follows:
While no formal registration is required for ACT Residual testing; you are still required to notify Testing Services at 474-5277 of your intent to test. In addition, please bring the following items with you to testing: $45 test fee (in exact change), picture identification and a calculator (please visit www.act.org to view acceptable calculators). Computer-based testing -- UAF Testing Services offers the following entrance/licensure exams on computer: CLEP, CPA, GRE, GMAT, MAT, NET, PRAXIS I and TOEFL. Registration in advance is required. You may register for these exams with a credit card by calling 474-5277; or in person with a credit card, check or money order at 207B Gruening Building. In addition, Testing Services is an ETS, ACT and Prometric center, hosting a variety of other computer-based tests. For more information, please call Testing Services at 474-5277. Assessment Program -- The COMPASS and ASSET tests cover basic skill areas of reading, writing and math. They are used to help determine your readiness for specific course work. All entering associate degree students, certificate students and students planning to take a 100-level written communications or mathematics course are required to provide test scores from either the COMPASS, ASSET, ACT or SAT tests. Daytime testing hours
