ALASKA UNLOCKED: In-State Tuition for Everyone

Starting Fall 2026, all undergraduate students, including those from outside Alaska, will automatically receive in-state tuition.

No extra steps, applications, or forms required. Once you begin, we guarantee the resident tuition rate for as long as you remain continuously enrolled. It’s a lasting commitment to affordability, so you can focus on what matters most: your education.
