Applying for Admission:
Occupational Endorsement Programs

When to Apply

Applications for admission to occupational endorsement programs are due no later than June 15 for fall semester, Nov. 1 for spring semester and May 1 for summer semester.

High school seniors are encouraged to apply for admission as early as the first semester of their senior year and should provide an official high school transcript including a list of courses in progress.

How to Apply

To be admitted to UAF, a student must:

  1. Submit an application for admission
    Apply online at www.uaf.edu/admissions/. Applications must be received before the published deadlines. There is no fee to apply for an occupational endorsement program. Paper applications can be submitted to the Office of Admissions and the Registrar.
  2. Submit official transcripts
    Most applicants to occupational endorsement programs are not required to submit high school or college transcripts, but all are strongly encouraged to do so. Transfer students who want to receive credit for prior work must submit official transcripts.

Admission Requirements

For admission to occupational endorsement programs, official documentation must be provided showing that the applicant meets program age requirements by the first day of the semester (see individual program descriptions for minimum age requirements).

Program Completion

Occupational endorsement programs require between 9 and 24 credit hours that will be posted to the student's transcript upon completion and approval by the academic department. The credit hours may be applied to other undergraduate degree programs when applicable. Students should check with an advisor for the specific requirements for their program.
