Students

Dual Enrollment is a convenient and cost efficient pathway of study offered by UAS to high school students throughout Southeast Alaska. Courses are approved by UAS and taught to high school students by the teachers at your local school. High school students receive college credit for each UAS class taken in high school, while at the same time earning high school credit. Any student in 9–12th grade can participate. This pathway has provided ample opportunity for students to graduate from high school with industry certificates or licenses and further their education with occupational endorsements, certificates, and degrees at the University of Alaska.
