Documented Disability

To better serve our student population, and to meet requirements as a federally funded program, we have partnered with Disability Services on campus to verify disability documentation. Please contact their office (907-474-5655, uaf-disability-services@alaska.edu) to determine whether or not your disability meets our eligibility requirements.

If you answered YES to any of these, you qualify for SSS!

You must also be enrolled in at least 9 credit hours of academic study and pursuing a Bachelor's degree program.
