College of Indigenous Studies Student Support

Yes! All students, who are interested in taking a College of Indigenous Studies course should reach out to an advisor for support applying and registering for your courses.

If you live in one of the regions covered by our rural campuses, you can reach out to any advisor at the campus that serves your community. Our advisors can support you with all UAF distance degrees, certificates, Occupational Endorsement programs, and individual courses. If you know you are interested in a specific bachelor's, master's, or Ph.D. program, you should contact our undergraduate and graduate advisors.

College of Indigenous Studies offers a full spectrum of degree offerings from occupational endorsements to the fastest-growing Ph.D program at UAF. Our degree pathways give students the opportunity to grow with CIS and map their education journey from start to finish.
