Talking with your students about Stay on TRACK could earn your department $250.

Stay on TRACK is an initiative supportive of President Gamble's focus on more students completing faster. The Stay on TRACK campaign is grounded in the philosophy that students and the university can take deliberate actions to help students graduate in a more timely manner, saving them money. The campaign is focused on first-time, full-time bachelor-degree seeking students.



Five things to discuss with your students:




  1. Take at least 30 credit hours per year

  2. Register early to be sure to get needed classes

  3. Ask an academic advisor and use DegreeWorks.

  4. Choose a major by the third semester and stick with it.

  5. Keep up the grades.






Check out the Stay on TRACK website and then share the five items above with your students. To be included in the drawing for the $250 department prizes, send an email to sysas@email.alaska.edu. Three departments will be selected to each receive $250 for their department; winners will be notified by email.
