No, being admitted is just a part of the enrollment process.

In order to be enrolled, you must be fully admitted and registered for classes.

In order to receive credit for prior courses completed at another institution, you must first apply for admission and submit official transcripts from the previous college or university you attended.

Please have all transcripts and other official documents sent to:

UAS Admissions Office
11066 Auke Lake Way
Juneau, AK 99801

When you are admitted, the UAS Credentials Evaluator will review and evaluate your prior credits. This process generally takes 2-4 weeks.

UAS will transfer only college level credit from institutions that are accredited by one of the following regional accrediting agencies:

  • Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
  • North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
  • New England Association of Colleges and Schools
  • Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
  • Western Association of Schools and Colleges

In order to receive credit from institutions outside the University of Alaska system, a grade of "C-" (1.7) or higher must be earned.

Grades of a 'D-" (0.7) or above are transferable only within the University of Alaska system, however they may not be acceptable to satisfy academic major requirements.

Yes. Students are required to send in transcripts for any school where they have an academic record - even in they never attended and withdrew from all classes.

Failure to disclose and send in official copies of all transcripts may result in your application being denied.

No, to be officially admitted we require official copies of all transcripts. We strongly encourage students to work out a payment plan for any balances they have with any prior institutions.

Students can take classes as non-degree seeking without applying for admission, however they will not be eligible for financial aid.

University of Alaska Southeast automatically converts credits accepted from other institutions to semester hours. The standard formula for quarter hour conversion is, quarter hours x 0.667.

Example: 5 quarter hours x 0.667 = 3.34 semester hours

Transfer credit equivalents vary among semester, unit and quarter universities.

Courses equated to UAS courses that are short 1.00 credit or less, will meet UAS course requirements without requiring a petition and you would simply make up that credit elsewhere in your degree program (such as in your electives).

If you are short more than 1.00 credit for a particular requirement, please contact your advisor.

Transfer credits are not included in your UAS grade point average (GPA) computation, except to determine eligibility for graduation with honors.

Courses below a 100 level are not transferable to UAS.

This does not necessarily mean that your courses will not transfer. It may be that the courses are not yet part of our database, which is always growing.

Please contact the UAS Credentials Evaluator at uas.transfer@alaska.edu.
