Your student account becomes available as soon as the registration process is completed. Please note that registration is considered "completed" when your information is entered into the University of Alaska's Banner Registration system - not when you submit your paperwork. This is true even if your application is submitted online. 

To activate your new account you will need to find your username and set a password in ELMO (Easy Login Maintenance Option), also referred to as Login Help. While account activation allows immediate access to most UAS resources, it can take up to 24 hours for your class discussion boards to become available.

ELMO Tutorial

Your UAS Username is a unique identifier automatically set up for you when you register for UAS courses. The username will be used with UASOnline, Email, campus computers, and more.

To find your username, please visit the Easy Login Maintenance Option ( ELMO).

To set your initial password, as well as reset a forgotten password, please visit ELMO.

1.  Your account will expire if you stop taking classes for a semester or more. If you sign up for new classes your account will be reactivated when the registration process is completed. Please note that registration is considered "completed" when your information is entered into the University of Alaska's Banner Registration system - not when you submit your paperwork. However, if you register online as a previous student, account reactivation is immediate. 

2.  If you believe your account should be active and ELMO shows it to be inactive, please contact the Helpdesk for assistance.

3.  If you are not currently enrolled but completing coursework from a previous semester, please contact your academic department to arrange an account extension.

While account activation allows immediate access to most UAS resources, it can take up to 24 hours for your class discussion boards to become available. 

Did you know it is possible to view course sites and syllabi before you register? Simply visit UASOnline and search for classes in the Course Homesites box. 

Accounts remain active until 8 weeks after the last day classes for which you are currently registerd. This gives you time to move needed materials, notify contacts of an address change, et cetera. When you sign up for new classes your account will be reactivated when the registration process is completed. Please note that registration is considered "completed" when your information is entered into UAS internal systems, not when you submit your paperwork. However, if you register online as a previous student, account reactivation will be immediate.

If you preregister for the next semester, as many students do, your account will remain active throughout your time at UAS.

In order to extend an expired account refer to the options listed on the Account Extensions page.
