Courses
Courses are available to you as:
- Local and regional courses taught by Northwest Campus faculty. NWC offers community interest courses, such as painting, ceramics, and computer applications that are taught face-to-face in a traditional classroom setting. NWC faculty also teach distance delivered courses as part of CIS's schedule, which includes the Bering Strait region. These are listed in the College of Indigenous Studies's Fall and Spring Schedule, but they can also be viewed through UAOnline at the Class Schedule link on the front page. As additional courses become available, NWC will advertise through local media, its NWC News Group, and this website.
- Semester-based distance delivered courses offered by other UA campuses. These can also be most easily found at the University of Alaska Distance Education Gateway or UAF eCampus. This is an online schedule that is searchable by course, meeting time, delivery type, and semester.
- UAF eCampus offers online courses and fully online degrees. You can find these courses and degrees, and register online through UAF eCampus website
These various schedules of courses offer instruction through audioconferences, paper-based correspondence, web-based correspondence, and Internet-based class meetings.

Dual credit courses:
The dual credit process allows secondary school students to register for UAF classes and concurrently earn high school and college credit, if approved. Any high school student meeting course prerequisites may enroll in university classes. Students must consult their appropriate school district officials and school counselors for approval prior to registration if they wish to use university courses to meet high school graduation requirements. Northwest Campus has direct partnership with the Northwestern Alaska Career and Technical Center (NACTEC), the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and Nome Public Schools (NPS).
